You are tasked with planning a backup solution for a VMware environment running Windows VM. There is a requirement that production datastores must have ten days of local backups and a daily replication to a DR cluster site. The development datastores require only 7 days of local backups. There is also a requirement for a tool for the VMware administrators that enables them to monitor backups and perform restores.
What procedure can you use to meet the requirements?
Correct Answer: C
To meet the requirements of:
* Local backups for production (10 days) and development (7 days),
* Daily replication to a DR site for production, and
* Providing VMware administrators with backup and restore control,
you should use the SnapCenter Plug-In for VMware vSphere, which integrates directly with vCenter. It supports backup, restore, and monitoring of VMs and datastores, and allows policy and resource group configuration aligned with the specified retention and replication needs.
