Question 2
Since the last remote replica from backup job, the source backup job ran three times, making 3 new restore points. Now the replica from backup job is run again. How many restore points will this replica from backup job create?
Correct answer: B
Explanation:
Although replica from backup might resemble replica seeding, there is difference between these options:Replica seeding uses the backup file only during the first run of a replication job. To further build VM replica restore points, the replication job addresses the production environment and reads VM data from the source storage. Remote replica from backup uses a backup chain on the backup repository as the only source of data. When building a new VM replica restore point, Veeam Backup & Replication always reads data from the latest restore point in the backup chain, either full or incremental. The backup chain on the backup repository may be created with a backup job or a backup copy job.
