# About ToastVault

ToastVault is a study companion for the Veeam Certified Engineer+ (VMCE+) v13 exam:
100, all scored, 150 minutes (+30 for non-native English speakers), a passing score of 724 (previous VMCE exams: 720).
Multiple choice only. No true/false, no fill-in-the-blank. Delivered by Pearson VUE.

It tests Backup & Replication v13, Veeam ONE v13, Recovery Orchestrator v7. 1 June 2026. Old VMCE v12 exam retired 31 March 2026.

Before you can sit the exam you must complete three Veeam courses: VBR: Configure, Manage and Recover, VDP: Monitor, Manage, Analyze (Veeam ONE) and VDP: Scale, Automate, Secure (Recovery Orchestrator). If you are already VMCE v12 certified or VBR v12/v13 trained, you can skip the VBR course.

It is built on the BreadLab study engine's cert kit, the same chassis behind
ToastFort (NSE 4) and ToastNix (NCA).

## How accurate is it?

TIP that start with "Check this" are ones we could not confirm for v13 yet. Where a note and the docs
disagree, the docs win.
