The EMC account team has been asked to design a new EMC NetWorker backup solution for
Microsoft Exchange Server 2007. The customer’s environment consists of Microsoft Exchange
Server 2007 hosted on an EMC CLARiiON disk array with EMC VSS Provider and an EMC Disk
Library.
Your design needs to include a server-less backup solution for the Microsoft Exchange Server
2007 environment by leveraging the Microsoft VSS framework. What is a recommended approach
to meet the customer’s requirements?

An EMC NetWorker customer is considering implementing NetWorker AES encryption to secure
backups on one of their application servers.
What is a concern when using AES?

The EMC account team has been asked to design a NetWorker backup solution for a Microsoft
Exchange server. The customer’s environment consists of a Microsoft Exchange Server 2007
Cluster Continuous Replication (CCR) deployment on a CLARiiON disk array with EMC VSS
Provider and an EMC Disk Library.
The customer wants to leverage the Microsoft VSS framework to protect the Exchange Server
2007 CCR environment. What needs to be considered when designing a backup solution?

The EMC account team has been asked to design a NetWorker backup solution. The customer’s
environment consists of a Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Cluster Continuous Replication (CCR)
deployment on a CLARiiON disk array with EMC VSS Provider and an EMC Disk Library.
The customer wants to leverage the Microsoft VSS framework to back up their Exchange server
from the Exchange Server 2007 CCR passive node. What needs to be considered when designing
this backup solution?

A customer performs weekly full backups and daily incremental backups. A typical full backup is 5
TB. There is usually a 20% daily change rate in data. A full backup completes in 10 hours while an
incremental backup completes in 4 hours.
Based on best practices, what is the minimum Data Domain throughput required?

A customer has two files that have been locked and backed up to the Data Domain appliance with
the following parameters:
• File1 = atime = 20 years
• File2 = atime = 5 years
The Data Domain global retention periods are configured as follows:
• Min = 2 years
• Max = 10 years
The administrator changes the Data Domain maximum retention period to 4 years. After how
many years can File2 be deleted?

A Symantec NetBackup customer is planning to add a second data center. They would like to

leverage deduplication technology to improve backup operations and disaster recovery with a
minimum amount of change to their existing backup environment. The customer’s primary design
goals are:
1. Improve backup performance
2. Electronic vaulting for disaster recovery
3. Maintain NetBackup as their primary tool for backup control and visibility
What should be included with a high-end Data Domain appliance?

An EMC customer is evaluating a single-engine EMC Disk Library (EDL) system. They placed the
EDL on their test infrastructure and performed 15 simultaneous backup jobs. The customer is
concerned that the overall performance numbers are substantially lower than the published
numbers.
Each job is sent to a separate virtual tape at an average rate of 18 MB/s. The EDL is connected to
the SAN through two FC ports at 4 GB/s. There are a total of 15 LUNs for virtual tape storage. The
infrastructure has been certified to sustain performance in excess of the EDL’s capability.
What would you recommend to improve the overall performance?

A customer is interested in using a Remote Copy policy to replicate data between two singleengine EMC Disk Library (EDL) systems. The customer is concerned about the readiness of
replicated tapes in case of a failure on the source system.
What can be done to minimize the exposure on the target?

A customer uses EMC NetWorker on HP-UX to back up 20 TB per day to physical tape. They
currently restore 10 TB of database data twice a week. The customer needs a new backup
solution that will reduce backup and restore times and is highly available.
What is a recommended EMC solution?
