Question #: 95
Topic #: 1

An hourly backup job for seven VMware VMs has been configured at the main site, keeping 14 days' worth of backup files. They want to get a copy of the VM backups to a repository at the disaster recovery site. They want to keep six months' worth of backup files at the disaster recovery site. They need to be able to restore the VMs to any given day within two months at disaster recovery, and any given week within the six months, minimizing the storage used at disaster recovery.

How should a backup copy job be configured to meet these requirements?

B. Use periodic copy (pruning) mode, keeping 62 days of retention and 26 weekly GFS restore points.

I guess it should be B They need to be able to restore the VMs to any given day -> not every hour minimizing the storage used at disaster recovery -> if they copy in immediate copy they copy every hourly backup, in periodic (once a day) it copies latest backup

It's the "minimizing the storage used at disaster recovery" part of the scenario that makes it B and not A. They don't want 7 backups per days at the recovery site.
