A customer is concerned about backup data growth and maintaining or improvising restore service
levels. The current environment consists of an HP StoreVirtual P4500 SAN solution, HP Data
Protector, and an HP MSL4048 Tape Library with LTO-3 drives connected via SAS to the backup
server.
You have been asked to design an upgrade to the current environment that will provide increased
backup storage and improve backup retention and restore times. What should be proposed?
A.
Configure client-side deduplication in the backup software.
B.
Implement HP StoreEasy with block-level deduplication.
C.
Upgrade the MSL Tape Library to LTO-5 tape drives.
D.
Implement an HP StoreOnce Backup System.
Explanation:
The HP StoreEver MSL Tape Libraries meet demanding storage requirement of businesses
needing unattended backup, disaster recovery, or archive capability. The MSL Libraries offer a
broad choice of storage capacity and interfaces with LTO-6, LTO-5, LTO-4, or LTO-3 Ultrium tape
drives.

I think answer D is correct, someone knows?

Difficult Diego, C and D could be correct. LTO-5 is backwards compatible but they don’t ask this in the question, so it could be indeed answer D.

I agree with you. The question asks for “…an upgrade to the current environment that will provide increased backup storage and improve backup retention and restore times.” An LTO 5 may improve the restore time somewhat, but the real answer is D because a StoreOnce system will meet the needs.
