A customer has a EMC Avamar desktop/laptop environment consisting of 100 clients distributed
across three Avamar domains. Compliance requirements mandate that 15 clients with 2 TBs of
data on each must have their backups written to tape. Avamar Data Transport (ADT) with three 2
TB transport nodes will be used to accomplish the tapeout process.
Which changes are required to accommodate this environment?

A customer has four EMC Avamar servers located in a centralized disaster recovery site, each
receiving replicated data from several remote sites. Several client backups are in the range of 1 – 4
TBs per dataset with file counts of 2 – 4 million files. Due to capacity limitations, Avamar retention
value is limited to two months and tapeout is being used to provide extended retention of up to five
years.
The nature of the customer’s business requires frequent lookups of historical data, often beyond
the Avamar 2-month retention period. Therefore, quick recovery of files from tape is required.
Compliance requirements mandate tapeout be performed on a weekly basis. The customer is
considering Avamar Data Transport (ADT) or Avamar Tape Out (ATO).
Which tapeout solution is best suited for this environment?

An EMC Avamar customer has an IBM DB2 server with multiple instances; i.e., A, B, and C.
• Instance A = 150 GB
• Instance B = 300 GB
• Instance C = 75 GB
The customer has installed the Avamar DB2 client plug-in on this host and has configured an
online backup schedule for each instance. Which additional step is required prior to starting the
schedules for each instance?

A customer with an existing EMC NetWorker environment has recently added an Avamar system
to their environment. Avamar enhanced NDMP backup capabilities will be used to backup Celerra.
In addition, the customer has a requirement to write the NDMP backup data from Avamar to tape
on a weekly basis. Avamar Tapeout (ATO), installed on the Avamar utility node, will be used for
this purpose.
Which methods can be used to automatically schedule ATO batch jobs?

An existing EMC Avamar customer has a 7.8 TB single node server. They have started a restore
of a large amount of data to a Microsoft Windows 2008 server. The restore rate is less than what
they were expecting. What should be checked to ensure the restore is running as fast as possible?

A customer has an EMC Avamar system with four storage nodes. The backup window is 10 hours
and the maintenance schedule is set to the default lengths. The current backup ingest rate
averages 1 GB/node/hr over the duration of the backup window.
Additional clients are being added to the Avamar system. The client data and retention will
increase the Avamar GSAN capacity to 50%. Which average data ingest rate would allow the
Avamar system to remain at steady state with the new clients?

An EMC customer is planning to implement Avamar Virtual Edition (AVE) on an ESX server. What

is the correct configuration parameters recommended for AVE performance?

A customer has Microsoft Exchange 2007 running on a Windows 2003 server. They have installed
the Exchange 2007 Avamar client plug-in (without VSS) and have been performing regular
backups of their server. They want to restore an individual message.
What is a prerequisite to accomplish this task?

A customer has been performing full backups of their Microsoft Exchange 2003 server to an EMC
Avamar server. A user needs to recover their mailbox. What must be done to recover this mailbox
without changing all other mailbox data?

A customer has an EMC Avamar system with a Data Domain device on its back-end. The
customer has decided to remove the Data Domain device from its current location and install the
device in another location. They want to integrate the Data Domain device into their current
backup solution with NetWorker using DD Boost. What is a best practice to remove the Data
Domain device from the Avamar system?
