A 3-node Microsoft SQL Always On cluster is running in a VMware environment.
The RPOs are: • 1 day for the cluster nodes • 15 minutes for the log files
How should the cluster be backed up?
A.
Veeam Backup and Replication - Create a VMware backup job, include the 3 nodes of the cluster. Use Application-Aware Processing to back up the transaction logs every 15 minutes.
B.
Veeam Agent for Windows - Create a managed by server backup job for all 3 nodes. Use Application-Aware Processing to back up the database once a day.
C.
Veeam Agent for Windows - Create a managed by agent backup policy for all 3 nodes. Use a log shipping server to back up the transaction logs every 15 minutes.
D.
Veeam Enterprise Plug-in for Microsoft SQL - Install the Plug-in on each node in cluster. Use Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio to create the backups.
Always On Availability Groups with no underlying failover cluster (Clusterless Availability Groups) are not supported: https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/agents/cluster_support.html?ver=120
To process Always On Availability Group, you must complete the following tasks:
In Veeam Backup & Replication, create a protection group that includes Active Directory objects. Add to this protection group the failover cluster account of the failover cluster whose data you want to back up.

When you follow the guide and select 'Failover Cluster' the only available mode is 'Managed by backup server'. So it's not C obviously. Then its prabably B.

The question is : A 3-node Microsoft SQL Always On cluster is running in a "VMware environment."
Because the "vmware environnement" word, we can deduct than the nodes are VM, so the only solution for me it's A.
B does not mention to backup the transaction logs every 15 mins
