During planning, Veeam Financial Services decides to change their backup window from 12 hours to...

Changing the backup window from 12 hours to 14 hours means that the backup jobs will have more time to complete, and therefore less concurrency will be required. This will reduce the load on the proxies, which are the data movers that perform backup, replication, and restore tasks1. The proxies will need fewer resources, such as CPU and memory, to handle the same amount of data.

The other options are incorrect because:

A) Proxies will not require more resources, as explained above.

B) Mount servers will not require fewer resources, as they are not affected by the backup window. Mount servers are used to mount backup files and restore data from them2. Their resource consumption depends on the restore frequency and performance, not the backup window.

D) Repositories will not require more storage space, as the backup window does not affect the backup size. Repositories are storage locations where the backup files are stored3. Their storage space consumption depends on the amount of data to be backed up, the backup method, the retention policy, and the compression and deduplication settings, not the backup window.
