A customer has a large Oracle database being backed up to an EMC Avamar server. The backup
runtime is exceeding their backup window. What is the recommended method to shorten the
backup runtime?

An EMC Avamar customer has an Avamar server with four 3.9 TB nodes. They are planning to
add a new client to backup to this server. This client has 4 GB of RAM and two file systems. The
first file system has 3 million files consuming .75 TB of space. The second file system contains 5
million files consuming 1 TB of space.
The customer wants to establish a benchmark for the client’s backups in order to determine if the
client cache files need tuning. Based on typical performance statistics, how many hours is the
steady state backup expected to run?

An EMC Avamar customer is performing a file level restore (FLR) from an image backup on a
Microsoft Windows 2008 virtual machine. During the restore process, the customer cancels the
restore to change the destination folder on the target client. After cancelling the restore, the
customer attempts the restore again but they are not able to do so.
Why is the customer unable to perform the restore?

An EMC customer has accidently backed up an EMC VNX through NDMP that contained highly
classified data to an Avamar server. The data must be removed from the Avamar server in a
method that is compliant with U.S. Department of Defense standards.
What is the correct method to securely delete the backups from the Avamar server with minimal
interference to existing backups from other clients?

An EMC customer has a Celerra that has been running NDMP backups successfully for a few
months. The customer is planning to migrate a substantial amount of data to the NAS. They want
to add another Accelerator Node and move some of the volumes to the new Accelerator.
Which step should be taken to avoid having to run a Level 0 backup again?

An EMC customer has the following environment:
• VNX NAS running OE 7.0
• Avamar system with Gen3 hardware running v6.x software
• Avamar Accelerator Node with Gen4 hardware and 36 GB of memory running the v6.x Linux
client
The VNX system has one storage device with 20 volumes created on it. For the best backup
performance, how many accounts need to be created on the Accelerator Node?

A customer wants to add the capability for source-based deduplication to their current EMC
NetWorker environment. Their backup environment consists of two separate NetWorker servers
and four storage nodes. One NetWorker server and two storage nodes protect their UNIX
environment. The other NetWorker server and two storage nodes protect the Microsoft Windows
environment. What is the minimum number of Avamar servers that are required to protect both
environments?

An EMC Avamar customer needs a snapshot in order to backup their central administration
content database in their SharePoint farm. What is required to accomplish this task using the
SharePoint VSS plug-in?

You have been tasked with installing a 1 TB Avamar AVE server in an ESX environment for a new
customer. The customer has thick provisioned the correct amount of LUNs with the correct sizing.
The Performance Assurance Tool (PAT) has been loaded on the ESX environment and ran for 24
hours. The results come back and the test did not pass the requirements for an AVE installation.
The customer says the test was not valid because there was a high load on their ESX environment
at the same time the test was running. They want to run the test again.
Should the tests be run again without any changes to the environment?

You are implementing a deduplication node in a new EMC NetWorker environment. You have
already configured the Avamar server and are now creating the AFTD for metadata storage.

What is a consideration in configuring the device?
