Question

The administrator of a VMware environment backed up by Veeam Backup & Replication has a critical server that has crashed and will not reboot. They were able to bring it back online quickly using Instant VM Recovery so people could continue to work. What else is required to complete the recovery?

A. Migrate to production
B. Commit failover
C. Commit tailback
D. Merge delta file

Answer

C. Commit tailback

Explanation

While Instant VM Recovery allows for immediate restoration of a VM by running it directly from the backup file, it’s a temporary solution. To finalize the recovery process and permanently restore the VM to the original datastore, a tailback operation is necessary. This process copies any changes made to the VM during its run from the backup file back to the production datastore, ensuring data consistency and completing the recovery.
