Exam VMCE v12 topic 1 question 24 discussion

If 9:30am backup is available, why A not be the best restore point and it satisfies the RPO

Don't confuse a 4 hour RPO with a job scheduled every 4 hours. Nothing in this questions says the job is scheduled every 4 hours.

The defined interval always starts at 12:00 AM. For example, if you configure to run a job with a 4-hour interval, the job will start at 12:00 AM, 4:00 AM, 8:00 AM, 12:00 PM, 4:00 PM and so on. https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/agents/agent_job_schedule_linux.html?ver=120

9:30am is the closest to the disaster time

Given the company has an RPO set at 4 hours, the restore point that gives the best RPO is the one closest to the time of the disaster without going over the disaster's timestamp.

Given the company has an RPO set at 4 hours, the restore point that gives the best RPO is the one closest to the time of the disaster without going over the disaster's timestamp. Since the disaster occurred on June 12, 2023, at 10:00 AM, the restore point at June 12, 2023, 9:30 AM would be the most recent one within the RPO threshold. This restore point minimizes data loss and provides the most current data before the disaster

the job runs every 4 hours starting at 12:00 AM the nearest restore point is therefore that of 08:00 AM

Option (A) is incorrect because when the "Periodically every" setting is enabled, the next backup for that job will only run at the next full hour, e.g., 8:00, 9:00, 10:00. Therefore, the correct option is (D).

answer is D

Just assuming that those restore points are available, and not knowing anything regarding the job configuration it must be A.

disaster occurs on June 12, 2023 at 10:00 AM Which restore point, RPO set at 4 hours June 12, 2023, 9:30 AM is the nearest if offset is set

So first job run will at 12 AM second will be with 4 hours interval which means 4 AM and third will be at 8 AM and this will be most recent one available so according to me D is correct answer

It's the last restore point available to restore.
