A customer has asked you to design a backup solution that has a NAS device with several
terabytes of encrypted data spread across three different file systems. Which backup option
should be avoided in this environment?

What are the key concerns when discussing the implementation of a Celerra two-way NDMP
backup design utilizing the SnapSure feature?

An EMC NetWorker customer is experiencing poor backup performance, Your analysis determines
that significant host resources are used to manage low-level network handshaking operations
during backup.
Based on EMC recommendations, what can you do to alleviate the handshake issue?

A customer has purchased Data Protection Advisor (DPA) to provide a single enterprise report on
backup compliance across their 24 geographically disperse locations. How many DPA servers
should be installed?

A customer requires a backup host to be located at their primary data center and a tape library at
their disaster recovery data center. The distance between the two data centers is 500 kilometers.
What is the recommended connectivity solution between the data center and the tape library to
address the customer’s requirement?

Which environment will yield the optimal data deduplication for backup purposes?

You have been asked to design a new backup solution for a customer to satisfy operational
backup requirements. After an initial analysis you decide to implement a two-tier solution. The first
tier is disk; the second tier is tape. A retention period needs to be defined for the first tier that will

determine when backup data will be moved to the second tier.
What is an important piece of information you need to consider when determining this retention
period?

An EMC Avamar customer has a heavily utilized ESX system CPU utilization is a concern. Each
guest system, all of which are Linux must be backed up with file granularity. The customer has
both Avamar and NetWorker available and is looking to EMC for guidance
What is considered the most suitable approach to meet these requirements?

An EMC NetWorker customer is considering using the deduplication feature with Avamar. What is
a requirement when performing backups to a deduplication node?

A customer has recently added a Celerra to their environment and has asked you to assess their
current data protection methodology. They currently have an EMC NetWorker environment using
an EMC Disk Library (EDL) as the primary backup location before they move the virtual tapes to
physical tapes.
How over, the rate of change of the data on the Celerra is too high for their RPO using the EDL for
single file recovery if their backups are performed only at the end of the business day. What would
you incorporate to lessen the impact of their once-a-day backup schedule on the Celerra data with
minimal impact to their backup administration processes?
