An existing EMC NetWorker customer has recently purchased Avamar to be installed as a
deduplication node. The Avamar installation was completed and can be fully managed from MCS
with no errors reported. From the NetWorker management GUI, the deduplication node failed to
be discovered.
Which component is missing?

A customer has asked you to design a Microsoft Exchange backup solution. The Exchange
environment includes both Exchange Server 2007 and 2010. EMC NetWorker Module for
Microsoft is proposed.

What is required to use NMM for Exchange backups?

You are planning a MS SQL striped backup solution for a customer using a dedicated EMC
NetWorker server and NMSQL. To achieve higher backup performance for a large amount of
databases, what is the minimum value of the NetWorker server parallelism attribute?

A customer wants to perform incremental backups of the local VNX using EMC Avamar. Based on
EMC best practice, at which granularity should the backup of this NAS device be performed?

Which EMC Avamar feature provides the benefit of less network traffic than traditional backup
applications?

A customer wants to configure an EMC NetWorker (NW) client for optimal backup performance to
a NetWorker deduplication node. In a NW client’s parallelism configuration setting, what is the
maximum recommended value?

An EMC Avamar 5.x customer is currently backing up over 200 virtual machines and several small
SQL databases. All clients have less than 50 GB of data. They want to purchase a Data Domain
solution for the larger 8 TB Oracle databases and still maintain use of Avamar MCS.
What must be done before integrating Data Domain (DD) with Avamar?

You have been tasked with designing a backup solution using EMC NetWorker to backup a
VMware environment. The environment will be using virtual NetWorker proxies to perform imagebased backups. You will need to backup 36 virtual disks at a time in order to meet the backup
window. The ESX hosts used in this environment are high-end and have a lot of processing
power.
What is the recommended way to configure NetWorker proxies to meet this design?

A client has a large ESX environment that they backup using EMC NetWorker. Their virtual
machines are a mix of database and non-database servers. They currently perform guest-based
backups so that their database server backups are application consistent.
They have asked you to address some performance issues they have been encountering.
Specifically, network utilization is high during backups. They would like you to provide a
recommendation to reduce network traffic without adding additional cost while retaining application
consistency.
What is a recommended solution that addresses the customer’s issues?

An EMC customer has been experiencing an Avamar performance issue on a Microsoft Windows
client. Technical Support has recommended that the maximum amount of file cache and hash
cache be increased from 512 MB to 896 MB and 256 MB to 448 MB respectively.
How much memory is needed to support the increase in cache size?
