A customer has requested assistance with several backup and recovery challenges. You use the
EMC backup scripts to perform the data collection.
Which type of data is collected using the backup quick scripts?

A customer with an existing VMware infrastructure is interested in Avamar as a potential backup
solution. The customer needs to back up 10 virtual machines with a total of 2.9 TB of data. The
daily change rate is 6 GB per day.
Which solution would you recommend?

A customer is planning a new database rollout using Oracle and wants to perform online backups.
Initial tests with NetWorker have shown that the backups cannot be completed within the backup
window of 6 hours.
You have analyzed your backup environment and there are adequate resources to meet this
stringent backup window. What is one of the first things to check in NetWorker or RMAN to
increase performance without adding cost and complexity?

An EMC NetWorker customer has three backup servers with four storage nodes reporting to each
of the backup servers. All servers run Microsoft Windows. A dual-engine EMC Disk Library with
Active Engine Failover is being proposed for this environment with embedded storage nodes for to
physical tape.
What is a consideration for this solution?

A customer wants to know why their backup performance to the Avamar multinode f\grid has
decreased. Initially they were seeing an ingestion rate of around 5 to 7 GB/hr/node. Recently they

estimated that it has slowed to around 3 to 5 GB/hr/node.
What is a probable cause for the decrease in the average ingestion rate?

In a Microsoft Windows environment, how fast does a split have to occur for VSS to work?

The EMC account team has been asked to design a NetWorker backup solution for a Microsoft
SharePoint server. The customer’s environment consists of a Microsoft SharePoint Server 2007
distributed farm deployment on a CLARiiON disk array with EMC VSS Provider and an EMC Disk
Library.
The customer wants to leverage a Microsoft VSS framework to provide disaster recovery of the
SharePoint Saver 2007 distributed farm environment. What is an important design consideration?

A customer has an existing environment that uses a Data Domain appliance as a disk backup
target. The customer now wants to implement a disaster recovery site using an existing T1
Internet connection. Consider the following:
· 100 GB of data has been backed up on the primary Data Domain appliance
· Retention policy is set for 6 months
What is a best practice implementation for this environment?

A customer has been using Avamar to leverage deduplication for VMware. They have been
performing guest-level backups and now want to perform. vmdlk backups for disaster recovery.
What is a requirement to perform VCB backups?

You are recommending a NetWorker deduplication solution with Avamar for a current EMC
NetWorker customer. The customer is planning to back up eight of their existing clients to the
Avamar deduplication node.

What is an EMC best practice when performing deduplication backups for these clients?
