Q: 12
A 3-node Microsoft SQL Always On cluster is running in a VMware environment. The RPOs are: • 1 day for the cluster nodes • 15 minutes for the log files How should the cluster be backed up?

C saw similar question in a practice test, only Linux agent supports backup from native snapshots like LVM or Btrfs.
My vote is C, since using the Agent with a managed backup policy and log shipping sounds like it covers SQL logs at 15 min intervals. A is tempting but I thought this type of cluster sometimes needs agent-based jobs. Not 100% sure, open to feedback.
A for sure. Official guide and some Veeam online labs both cover this setup step by step.
Pretty sure it's A here. Image-level backups with Application-Aware Processing in Veeam Backup & Replication will catch the full VM for daily RPO and can handle transaction log backups every 15 minutes too. Anyone see a reason D would fit better?
A tbh
