What needs to be considered when designing a backup solution?
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?
which process uses a port value that cannot be changed?
A customer has a DMZ and needs to connect to the NetWorker Management Console through the
firewall. Three service ports are required for connections between the Console server and a
Console client.
When configuring the ports, which process uses a port value that cannot be changed?
What will meet the customer’s requirements?
An EMC NetWorker customer is performing all backups to physical tape. This includes weekly 10
TB backups of static medical imaging data stored on a Dell NAS requiring 8 months retention.
Their current tape libraries are approaching end of support life.
The customer has asked EMC for a recommendation that will improve operational backup and
restore reliability for their image data with a minimum amount of change. What will meet the
customer’s requirements?
What is a consideration when designing an Avamar Virtual Edition (AVE) solution?
An EMC Avamar customer has a 750 GB Oracle server and a file server to back up. What is a
consideration when designing an Avamar Virtual Edition (AVE) solution?
What is an important design consideration to achieve this objective?
A customer has purchased an EMC Disk Library (EDL) to reduce backup times to fit within their
available backup window. What is an important design consideration to achieve this objective?
Which solution would you recommended?
An EMC customer has a 2 TB single-node Avamar server at a local site. The server is replicating
to another 2 TB single-node Avamar at a remote site. The customer wants to add at least 1 TB of
capacity for future growth.
Which solution would you recommended?
Which method meets the customer’s requirements?
A customer has an existing EMC NetWorker backup group consisting of one file server. The file
server has dual quad-core 2.9-GHz CPUs, 16 GB of RAM, and a single file system with a total of 6
TB of data. Due to a recent loss of backup tapes during shipment, the customer needs to encrypt
the backups.
The customer wants to prevent any possibility of backup data being intercepted during the
transmission of backup data from the client to the NetWorker storage node. In addition, they want
to minimize the change to their file server hardware and minimize operational changes.
Which method meets the customer’s requirements?
What is the most likely cause of their increased latency after the reconfiguration?
An existing EMC NetWorker customer has recently undertaken an LDAP authentication network
infrastructure reconfiguration to ensure an improved validation response time. The reconfiguration
does not involve the addition of any physical network hardware to the infrastructure. However,
they have now approached you to assist with an increased latency they are experiencing on their
network.
What is the most likely cause of their increased latency after the reconfiguration?
What needs to be considered with regards to DPA licensing?
You are proposing Data Protection Advisor (DPA) to provide a single reporting interface in a multivendor backup environment. The environment consists of IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM),
Symantec Net Backup, NetWorker, and Avamar. Each application manages 200 clients.
What needs to be considered with regards to DPA licensing?
What is the minimum number of virtual tape libraries required?
A NetWorker customer has a single data zone with three storage nodes backing up 250 clients. A
dual-engine EMC Disk Library is being proposed as the backup-to-disk solution.
What is the minimum number of virtual tape libraries required?
