Veeam backup proxy is responsible for: (Multiple-choice)

Question

Options

• ARetrieval of VM data from the production storage
• BCompression, replication, and encryption
• CStore backup files and supports various storage systems
• DData transmission to the backup repository

• A
  84% (46)
• C
  16% (9)

Explanation

The Veeam backup proxy acts as a data mover that sits between the production environment and the backup repository, handling three core jobs: retrieving VM data from production storage (A), applying compression and encryption to that data (B), and transmitting the processed data to the backup repository (D). Together, these three roles make the proxy the workhorse of the backup pipeline - it fetches, processes, and delivers.

Option C is wrong because it describes the backup repository, not the proxy. The repository is the dedicated component responsible for storing backup files and supporting storage targets like NAS, tape, or object storage. The proxy never stores data permanently; it simply moves and transforms it in transit.

Memory tip: Think of the proxy as a courier with packing skills - it picks up the package (A), wraps and secures it (B), and drops it off (D). The repository is the warehouse where the package is actually stored (C). If a choice sounds like "storage destination," it belongs to the repository, not the proxy.
