*Virtual machine backup jobs with log shipping enabled allow you to create image-level backups of SQL Server databases and also back up the transaction logs periodically12.
*Scale-out Backup Repository is a logical entity that groups several backup repositories into a single pool of storage, allowing for better backup performance, scalability, and management3.
*Scale-out Backup Repository capacity tier is a feature that allows you to offload older backup files to a public cloud object storage, such as Amazon S3 or Azure Blob Storage .
The other options are not as effective or efficient, as they either do not use Veeam features, do not offload to object storage, or do not create image-level backups.
