Question
A physical Windows server has failed Windows updates and is now showing an error message. The server has several volumes: C (60GB), D (2TB) and E (600GB). You urgently need this server up and running again.
Which of the following would bring the server back up and running the fastest on the same hardware?
A. Insert the Veeam Recovery Media and restore using “System volumes only”.
B. Insert the Veeam Recovery Media and restore the entire computer.
C. Perform Instant Disk recovery of the C drive.
D. Use Restore Guest OS Files to restore the bootable image of the system drive.
Answer
C. Perform Instant Disk recovery of the C drive.
Explanation
The fastest way to bring the server back up and running on the same hardware is:
C. Perform Instant Disk recovery of the C drive.
Instant Disk Recovery allows you to immediately restore only the specific volumes needed to boot the server, in this case, the C drive. This targeted approach is faster than restoring the entire computer or all system volumes.
Restoring just the C drive gets the server operational quickly without waiting for the larger data volumes (D and E) to be recovered. Those can be restored separately once the server is up and running.
Using Veeam Recovery Media to restore only system volumes (A) or the entire computer (B) would be slower due to additional manual steps and restoring unnecessary data.
Restoring guest OS files (D) is not a bootable image and would require more time and effort to rebuild the server.
