Scenario 6
A customer recently implemented an EMC Avamar solution in their primary data center. The environment
consists of several Microsoft applications, including Microsoft SharePoint, Exchange, and SQL. An EMC Data
Domain system was also deployed behind Avamar as the backup destination for these applications. There are
also several file system clients that have been configured to back up directly to the Avamar server.
One Avamar server and two Data Domain systems have been deployed to support this configuration. The
Avamar server is operating close to full capacity and there is no room for expansion since it is already fully
provisioned with the maximum number of nodes. The Data Domain systems have plenty of capacity left; each
system is currently at 35% of utilization.
Refer to Scenario 6.
The customer noticed that while backing up the Microsoft Exchange clients, a significant amount of data is
being stored on the Avamar server. The Exchange clients are configured to send their data to the Data Domain
system.
What is an explanation for this behavior?

A.
Exchange log files are always stored on the Avamar server

B.
Data Domain system has run out of capacity and backup data is being redirected to the Avamar server

C.
Avamar server is caching the backup data and then sending it to Data Domain system

D.
Data is being reconstructed on the Avamar server so that it can be replicated
