VCP-VMC 2024 Question 48
Select 2A company has deployed a VMware Cloud on AWS environment and wants to implement a backup and disaster recovery solution. The company requires the ability to automate failover to another region in case of a disaster, as well as the ability to perform file-level recovery for specific VMs. Which combination of solutions meets these requirements?
- A
VMware Site Recovery for failover and Veeam Backup & Replication for file-level recovery
- B
VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery for failover and VMware vSphere Data Protection for file-level recovery
- C
VMware Site Recovery for failover and VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery for file-level recovery
- D
VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery for failover and Veeam Backup & Replication for file-level recovery
- E
VMware Site Recovery for failover and VMware vSAN snapshots for file-level recovery
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, D
Explanation
To meet the company's requirements for both automated failover to another region and file-level recovery, a combination of VMware Site Recovery or VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery for orchestrated failover and a backup solution like Veeam Backup & Replication for granular file-level recovery is required. Options 1 and 4 provide this combination.
- A. Correct.
VMware Site Recovery provides automated failover and failback capabilities for disaster recovery, while Veeam Backup & Replication supports granular, file-level recovery. This combination fulfills both requirements.
- B. Incorrect.
VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery does provide failover capabilities, but VMware vSphere Data Protection is no longer supported, making this an invalid solution.
- C. Incorrect.
VMware Site Recovery provides failover capabilities, but VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery is primarily designed for failover and on-demand failback, not for file-level recovery.
- D. Correct.
VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery offers orchestrated failover capabilities, while Veeam Backup & Replication provides robust file-level recovery options. This combination meets both requirements.
- E. Incorrect.
VMware Site Recovery provides failover capabilities, but VMware vSAN snapshots are not intended for file-level recovery; they are used for VM-level recovery within the same environment.
