After completing this course, attendees should be able to:
• Describe Veeam security concepts
• Given a scenario, configure a backup job and a backup copy job
• Explain network-attached storage (NAS) backups and configuration
• Describe Veeam’s replication capabilities
• Determine appropriate use case for backups, replicas and/or continuous data protection
• Configure backup infrastructure components, including proxy and repository servers
• Given a scenario, evaluate when and how to apply immutability settings
• Given a scenario, recover data from backups
