Q: 2
Management asks a backup administrator to deploy the Veeam Agent on a number of Amazon EC2 instances running Windows and Linux operating systems. A Veeam Protection Group is also required by management. The Veeam Distribution Server does not have network access to these instances. What protection group type should be used to select these objects?

Option C
D or maybe C, but Veeam really doesn't make this obvious. Since the distribution server can't touch the EC2s, "Cloud machines" (D) is probably the intent, using AWS API instead of direct network. Not 100% sure though, vendor wording always trips me up.
Guessing D is right, since the Veeam server can't directly touch those EC2 VMs. "Cloud machines" lets you use AWS APIs for discovery, which works even with no network connectivity from the distribution server. That's pretty much the only way here. Someone correct me if I'm missing a scenario though.
D . Since these EC2s are in AWS and the Veeam server can’t reach them directly, "Cloud machines" is the protection group type made for this setup. Seen similar in the official guide and labs. Pretty sure that's what Veeam expects for public cloud discovery, but open to corrections if I missed something.
D imo. Cloud machines is built for this exact use case, lets Veeam query AWS via API without direct network reachability to the EC2s. The other choices would need some sort of access from the distribution server. Pretty sure it's D but let me know if I'm missing a corner case.
D makes most sense because "Cloud machines" lets Veeam find EC2s through AWS API, so you don't need network access from the distribution server. If there was direct connectivity, other options could work too. Pretty sure it's D but open to corrections.
D - Cloud machines. Official guide and some Veeam practice labs both reference this for AWS EC2 scenarios with no direct access.
C imo, the Move backup function handles ReFS block cloning right. Super clear scenario, seen similar on a practice set.
