Answer: D

Explanation:

The most efficient approach to getting all servers onto tape, considering there are both VMware VMs and physical Windows servers in the infrastructure, is to first create backup jobs that target both the VMs and the physical servers. After these backups are stored on a disk-based repository, you can then create backup to tape jobs. This method leverages Veeam’s ability to handle both types of environments and ensures that all data is efficiently backed up to tape for offsite storage and ransomware protection.
