An EMC customer has a large Microsoft SharePoint 2010 environment. The environment consists
of three separate distributed farms with several web front-end and content database servers. An
Avamar solution was deployed to protect this environment, backing up the SharePoint data to
Data Domain Boost devices on the back-end. Backup data is replicated by Avamar to a disaster
recovery site in another location.
The web front-end server in one of the farms where the front-end plug-in is installed experienced a
disaster and all data on that server was lost. What needs to be done to ensure backups continue
to run with minimal impact to operations?

A customer has EMC NetWorker integrated with Data Domain. They noticed that they have

incorrectly configured their NetWorker Browse and Retention policies for all currently defined
clients. This issue was discovered when a DPA report was e-mailed showing the amount of
available space on their EMC Data Domain system.
The customer has made the necessary corrections to the Browse and Retention policies. They
have manually deleted save sets that should have been expired based upon the new Browse and
Retention times. After comparing the size of the index directory, prior to and after the modification,
the customer noticed that the index directory decreased in size by several hundred GB. However,
the available space on the Data Domain remained unchanged.
Although NetWorker has deleted the necessary indexes, why does the Data Domain available
capacity remain the same?

An EMC customer wants to backup their NAS device. The NAS device does not support tokenbased backups. When creating an NDMP backup schedule in EMC NetWorker, which backup
levels are supported?

An EMC Avamar customer wants to determine when the Samba credentials get passed during an
Avamar 6.0 file-level restore. At which point are the credentials passed?

You have been assigned to resolve a customer’s EMC VNX file-level backup design issue. They
are using EMC NetWorker with Data Domain as a LAN backup device. The IT infrastructure
consists of LAN and SAN components.
Which solution provides the least amount of traffic over the production LAN and SAN?

An existing EMC NetWorker customer has already integrated an EMC Avamar server with
NetWorker. They have tried to backup their clients to the deduplication node. However, a message
occurs stating that the backup session is waiting for a writable volume.
What is the possible cause for this message?

An EMC NetWorker customer has asked you to design a Microsoft SharePoint backup solution
using NMM. The SharePoint environment is configured as a distributed farm consisting of two web
front-end servers, three SQL database servers, and two query servers.
Which tasks need to be performed to backup the SharePoint distributed farm?

An EMC NetWorker customer has added a NetWorker deduplication node to their existing
NetWorker environment. They have set up offsite cloning of all metadata. In addition, they have
setup replication to an offsite Avamar at their disaster recovery site.
The customer would like a review to assist in setting up the most efficient use of their existing
storage. Which steps are needed?

A customer is using an EMC NetWorker server and NMSQL on all SQL servers. They would like to
use Data Domain as a backup device for the databases and special dump logs.
What is the recommended way to integrate Data Domain in the SQL backup environment?

An EMC customer is currently using NetWorker, Data Domain configured as an NDMP tape
server, and VNX. The Data Domain and the VNX both have supported HBAs. The customer
configured the NDMP backup in NetWorker and has noticed that the data is not traversing over the
HBA cards. Rather, the data is being set over the LAN.
Why is the backup data being backed up over the LAN directly to the Data Domain system?
