Now for those working with Veeam, a hot topic these days is the VMCE (Veeam Certified Engineer) certification. In order to take this exam you first need to attend a 3-day technical course which covers the syllabus, then you are allowed to take the exam.
The exam consists of 50 random questions which are multiple choice, and you need 70% to pass the exam.
Now as an Veeam instructor I get questions regarding where can I find more info about the different subjects and a bit more regarding best practice regarding each subject ?
Therefore I created this study guide which consists of links to each module in the syllabus. First of you need to take the course, get yourself familiarized with the GUI and where options are stored in the GUI. Know the different components, where they can be placed and how traffic flows between the different components and look at some sample scenarios for instance which are listed in the evaluators guide.
