An administrator protected a DB VM running on a Nutanix cluster with NearSync Replication, which schedules to repeat every 15 minutes □ to a second…

When a NearSync Replication window is missed due to high write volume during nightly backups,

the expected behavior of the system is to adjust the replication schedule temporarily and

continuously attempt to return to the configured NearSync schedule. The correct answers are:

Option B, "Protection Domain transitions back to the hourly schedule." If the NearSync cannot

maintain the 15-minute schedule due to excessive write volume, it may temporarily fall back to a less

frequent schedule, such as hourly, to stabilize.

Option D, "The system continuously tries to get to the NearSync schedule." NearSync is designed to

handle transient high-load situations by trying to catch up and revert to the pre-set NearSync

schedule as conditions allow.

Reference:

These behaviors are outlined in the Nutanix documentation for NearSync, which describes how the

system manages periods of high I/O and missed replication windows.
