2V0-621 · Question #122
What are two advantages of using vSphere Data Protection In a data center? (Choose two.)
The correct answer is A. Creates new virtual machines. C. Ensures minimum impact on network bandwidth. vSphere Data Protection (VDP) can restore VMs from backup (effectively creating new VMs) and uses changed block tracking and deduplication to minimize network bandwidth consumption.

Why each option
vSphere Data Protection (VDP) can restore VMs from backup (effectively creating new VMs) and uses changed block tracking and deduplication to minimize network bandwidth consumption.
VDP can restore virtual machines from backup images, which results in the creation of new or recovered virtual machines at the destination, making VM creation via restore a valid advantage.
Migrating virtual machines between hosts or datastores is the function of vSphere vMotion and Storage vMotion, not vSphere Data Protection.
VDP leverages VMware Changed Block Tracking (CBT) and inline deduplication to reduce the amount of data transferred during backup and restore operations, ensuring minimal impact on network bandwidth.
VDP appliances have a fixed and relatively limited backup data capacity (typically up to 2 TB per appliance in vSphere 6.x), so increased backup data capacity is not considered an advantage of VDP.
