Q: 5
Veeam Backup and Replication is currently configured with backup jobs that are targeting a local Backup Repository on a Windows Server. The backups are now configured to run periodically every 6 hours. The engineer wants to create a secondary copy of the backups. However, due to bandwidth and compute restrictions, the copies must be created and transferred only once a day. Which option should the engineer choose to achieve this goal?

Is there a reason some would pick D here? Seems like Immediate Copy or capacity tier options don’t really match the question’s restriction about making only one transfer each day.
A tbh, official guide and lab scenarios usually cover this Periodic Copy setup for bandwidth limits.
A fits because Periodic Copy lets you schedule the backup copies separately from the main job, so you can just set it for once per day and not overload your bandwidth. Immediate Copy would push copies out every time the main backup runs, which isn't what they want. Pretty sure that's the intent.
Its A here, since Periodic Copy mode lets you batch up the backup copies and send them just once per day. That’s exactly what’s needed with bandwidth restrictions. Immediate/Mirroring would copy right after every job, not ideal. Makes sense to me, anyone disagree?
Feels like A. D looks tempting for cloud, but it doesn't control copy frequency the way Periodic Copy in A does.
B . D is a trap since it doesn't guarantee once per day copies.
