QuestionQ8

Backup and Restore

You need to plan a backup solution for a VMware environment that runs Windows VMs. Production datastores must retain ten days of local backups and replicate daily to a DR-cluster site. Development datastores need only seven days of local backups. VMware administrators also require a tool that lets them monitor backups and perform restores.

Which procedure can be used to meet these requirements?

Explanation

The SnapCenter Plug-in for VMware vSphere provides backup and restore operations for VMware VMs and datastores through the vCenter client. Backup policies define retention and replication settings, and resource groups associate those policies and schedules with the selected datastores. Separate production and development policies can therefore provide 10-day versus 7-day local retention, while the production policy enables daily secondary replication to the DR site.
