When performing an NDMP backup with EMC NetWorker, how is file history processed by the
NetWorker server?

You have been asked to redesign an EMC NetWorker environment using Data Domain with DD
Boost. When considering the memory requirements for the Data Domain devices, the DD Boost
client has 4 GB of RAM using one stream.

What is the minimum memory requirement for each single stream?

In a customer’s backup environment, EMC Avamar is integrated as a deduplication node with
NetWorker. The customer wants to run multiple simultaneous backups from the same client.
What is the recommended maximum number of simultaneous streams?

An EMC NetWorker customer wants to use Data Domain Boost to take advantage of less LAN
traffic traversing the network. However, after performing a backup, the LAN administrator noticed
that the same amount of data is being transmitted from the storage node to the Data Domain as it
is from the client to the storage node.
What needs to be enabled to take advantage of DD Boost on the storage node?

An EMC NetWorker customer’s environment consists of four VMware ESXi hosts with 20 virtual
machines on each ESXi host. One of the ESXi hosts will be used for backing up NMM clients and
one of the ESXi hosts will be used for backing up NMDA clients.
How many Virtual Edition Client Connection licenses are required?

You are designing a backup solution for an EMC NetWorker customer. Given a conservative
estimate, how many CPU cycles are needed by the storage node when backing up clients over the
network to local tape drives at a rate of 100 MB/s?

An EMC NetWorker customer is considering implementing deduplication into their existing
environment. Which design consideration has the most positive impact on the deduplication ratio?

You are assigned to upgrade an existing EMC NetWorker server. You ask the customer to run the
nsrlic –v servername command and send you the output.
What information is received?

An existing EMC Avamar customer wants to add a new database client to their Avamar system.
This is a moderately full Avamar single-node server running in steady state.
What is the estimated time to backup this database of 500 GB?

A customer has 6,000 desktops and laptops with 1 TB of data, an average backup time of 10
minutes each, and 10 TB of database data. The customer wants a solution that addresses the
following requirements:
Deduplication in the shortest backup window with the fewest components
Least performance impact on the database servers
Which Avamar solution is recommended?
