Using a centralized repository can help streamline the updating and installation of VMware Tools in your environment. True or False?

• True

• False

With vSphere Storage APIs – Data Protection, backup products can perform centralized, efficient, off-host, LAN-free backups of vSphere VMs. True or False?

• True

• False

To avoid backup processing from overloading your ESXi hosts, you should:

• Place your backup server outside of your ESXi hosts and configure access to the storage volumes.

• Install a backup VM on your ESXi host to process your backups

• Avoid using vSphere Storage APIs

• None of the above

With Changed-Block Tracking, the backup solution:

• 
  doesn’t copy any file blocks

• copies only file blocks that were not changed since the last backup

• copies only file blocks that changed since the last backup

• 
  copies all file blocks

Changed-block tracking supports faster incremental backups. True or False?

• True

• False

Which of the following are benefits provided by vSphere Replication as compared to array-based replication:

• A replication solution that supports flexibility in storage vendor selection at the source and target sites

• Data protection at lower cost per VM

• Overall lower cost per replication

• 
  All of the above

vSphere Replication Appliance provides all the components that are required to perform VM replication. True or False?

• True

• False

You can use the vSphere Replication Management Service (VRMS) Appliance Management Interface (VAMI) to:

• Make changes to the network settings

• 
  Make changes to the appliance security settings

• Deploy additional vSphere Replication servers by using a separate Open Virtualization Format (OVF) package

• 
  
  All of the above

What type of replication does vSphere Replication support?

• Replication between two sites

• 
  Replication in a single vCenter

• Replication to a shared target site

• All of the above

To replicate between two sites, where must vSphere Replication be installed?

• At the target site

• At the source site

• At both source and target site

• None of the above
