Exam VMCE v12 topic 1 question 1 discussion

The correct answer is: C. The Capacity Tier. Explanation: Daily retention is 31 days, which means that the daily backups from the week of January 1 have already been deleted. However, weekly GFS backups are retained for 14 weeks. Since it's March (March 20), the weekly backup from the week of January 1 should still be available. In a Scale-out Backup Repository setup, GFS backups are typically copied or moved to the Capacity Tier, which is typically cloud storage (e.g., Amazon S3, Azure Blob Storage). Therefore, the required archive should be in the Capacity Tier.

The listed "correct answer" says D. There is no archive tier however. Odd. It is C, as the SOBR is configured for "Move" and the content in question would have been rolled off and the GFS content is only available in the Capacity Tier.

Answer: C Explanation: Based on the configuration shown in the image, backups older than 21 days are moved to the capacity tier. Since the VMware backup job retention is set for 31 days and keeps weekly GFS full backups for 14 weeks, the backup from the week of January 1st is older than 21 days but within the 14-week GFS retention policy. Therefore, as of March 20, the backup data you need to recover would be in the capacity tier, not on the local performance tier, because it has been offloaded to the object storage configured as the capacity tier to reduce long-term retention costs.

C, there is no Archive Tier, and Mar 20 is over 21 day after Jan 1. So it moved to Capacity Tier

Answer is C. It is in capacity Tier now

C capacity tier backups older than 21 days

Isn't it B because "copy backup to object storage" is not enabled in the capacity tier?

Archive tier is NOT EVEN ENABLED.

Why answer is D?

why is the answer D, archive tier is disabled.

Data from 1 Jan on 20 March will be in the Capacity

C capacity tier

C capacity tier

C capacity tier there is no archive tier configured

C capacity tier

Data from 1 Jan on 20 March will be in the Capacity

March 20 is more than 21 days
