A system administrator detects that a VDP Appliance that has been operational for 6 months has become inconsistent or unstable. Which action should the administrator take to recover the VDP appliance

A VDP rollback reverts the appliance to the most recent internally validated checkpoint, which is the primary VMware-recommended recovery path for an unstable VDP appliance. This restores appliance integrity without relying on an external backup, and the only impact on the vSphere environment is the loss of backup catalog entries created after the checkpoint date.

This option is an exact duplicate of option A and introduces no distinct recovery approach or different impact on the environment.

Restoring from an external backup copy of the VDP appliance is a more complex, disruptive secondary option and is not the preferred first action when a validated internal checkpoint rollback is available.

This option is an exact duplicate of option C and represents the same less-preferred external restore path with the same higher complexity and potential for greater data loss.
