The EMC account team has been asked to design a Network backup solution for a VMware
ESX3.5 environment with the following requirements: 1. Reduce workload on the ESX
server during backups 2. Eliminate backup traffic from the LAN by moving data directly from
the SAN 3. Support file-level backups for virtual machines running Microsoft Windows What
is a recommended backup solution?

A customer is considering implementing an EMC Disk Library with Active Engine Failover
(AEF). Front-end ports 1, 3, and 4 from Engine A will be connected to the SAN. On Engine
B, front-end ports 7, 8, and 11 will be connected to the SAN. To ensure proper AEF
functionality, what is the total number of front-end ports from both engines that need to be
connected to the SAN?

A customer has a current EMC NetWorker LAN backup environment. The environment is
using a local EMC Disk Library (EDL) with replication to a remote disaster recovery site.
They want to introduce a four Data Mover Celerra into their environment for consolidated
Windows user collaborative data on CIFS shares. Which backup deployment would you
suggest that has the least disruptive hardware impact to the customer’s current backup
procedure?

A NetWorker customer has a single data zone with three storage nodes backing up 250
clients. A dual-engine EMC Disk Library is being proposed as the backup-to-disk solution.
What is the minimum number of virtual tape libraries required?

You are proposing Data Protection Advisor (DPA) to provide a single reporting interface in a
multivendor backup environment. The environment consists of IBM Tivoli Storage Manager
(TSM), Symantec Net Backup, NetWorker, and Avamar. Each application manages 200
clients. What needs to be considered with regards to DPA licensing?

An existing EMC NetWorker customer has recently undertaken an LDAP authentication
network infrastructure reconfiguration to ensure an improved validation response time. The
reconfiguration does not involve the addition of any physical network hardware to the
infrastructure. However, they have now approached you to assist with an increased latency
they are experiencing on their network. What is the most likely cause of their increased
latency after the reconfiguration?

A customer has an existing EMC NetWorker backup group consisting of one file server. The
file server has dual quad-core 2.9-GHz CPUs, 16 GB of RAM, and a single file system with
a total of 6 TB of data. Due to a recent loss of backup tapes during shipment, the customer
needs to encrypt the backups. The customer wants to prevent any possibility of backup data
being intercepted during the transmission of backup data from the client to the NetWorker
storage node. In addition, they want to minimize the change to their file server hardware and
minimize operational changes. Which method meets the customer’s requirements?

An EMC customer has a 2 TB single-node Avamar server at a local site. The server is
replicating to another 2 TB single-node Avamar at a remote site. The customer wants to add
at least 1 TB of capacity for future growth. Which solution would you recommended?

A customer has purchased an EMC Disk Library (EDL) to reduce backup times to fit within
their available backup window. What is an important design consideration to achieve this
objective?

An EMC Avamar customer has a 750 GB Oracle server and a file server to back up. What is
a consideration when designing an Avamar Virtual Edition (AVE) solution?
