VMCE exam question is confusing

Post by ejenner »

So people who are more familiar with the way things are phrased in Veeam speak might be able to clarify the following for me.

I'm looking at a question on a VMCE exam practice paper and the question is asked like this:

"What is the lowest interval you can schedule a backup job to run at?"

The possible answers are:

Continuously
Hourly
Daily
Every Minute
Every 5 Minutes

I have a problem with this question because I can see in the documentation that you can set a job to run continuously. But if it is running continuously then it isn't happening at 'intervals' as there's no break between the ending and starting of the job.

So I would have thought 'Every Minute' would be the technically accurate answer, but because of confusing language used in the question they might want you to choose 'Continuously' instead?

What do we think?

Hello,
Continuously looks like the right answer for me as jobs may take less than a minute.
Thanks

Hmm, but do you see what I'm saying?

As you're not scheduling individual instances of the job but just running a loop you aren't actively configuring a backup interval?

I agree that the question is confusing. We will contact a responsible person and explain the concern.
