An EMC NetWorker customer is backing up all clients using EMC Avamar deduplication. They
have a requirement for backup redundancy for disaster recovery.
What is recommended to provide this protection?

A customer wants to improve the performance of their EMC Data Domain system. After checking
their weekly reports, they notice that on the same day each week, file system performance is
impacted. At first the customer thought the performance issue was caused by full backups that run
on Friday. However, the performance issue is occurring on Tuesday.
What is a possible reason for this behavior?

An existing EMC NetWorker customer is evaluating options for upgrades within their backup
solution. The customer is interested in replacing their current tape-based infrastructure with a
backup-to-disk product. The customer currently uses EMC VNX arrays for their SAN storage.
The solution needs the ability to retain certain backups for long periods of time due to compliance
reasons as well as minimize the amount of power and rack space required. In addition, all backups
must go offsite on a daily basis.
Finally, the customer wants the ability to use a new 10 GigE infrastructure they are planning to
deploy within their data center. They want to minimize the amount of disruption to their current
daily procedures in order to avoid re-training existing staff.
Which storage solution can be integrated with NetWorker to satisfy these requirements?

An EMC NetWorker customer is considering backup options for their VMware environment. The
environment consists of Microsoft Windows file servers an Oracle database server running on
Solaris. What is an advantage of using the VMware image backup operation?

A large EMC NetWorker customer is gathering installation requirements for a new NetWorker
installation. Based on best practices, where should the NetWorker indexes be located to provide
the most flexibility?

A customer has been using lz Local Compression when backing up their data to an EMC Data
Domain system An audit of their storage content shows that they can effectively use gz
compression for their data. What should be considered before changing the Local Compression
type?

You are designing a Data Protection Advisor (DPA) solution to support an environment consisting
of:
• 2 VNX-File
• 1 NetApp File Server
• 185 EMC NetWorker clients
• 300 Symantec NetBackup clients
What are the appropriate DPA licensing requirements?

A Symantec NetBackup customer is planning to add a second data center. They would like to
leverage deduplication technology to improve backup operations and disaster recovery with a
minimum amount of change to their existing backup environment. The customer’s primary design
goals are:
1. Improve backup performance
2. Electronic vaulting for disaster recovery
3. Maintain NetBackup as their primary tool for backup control and visibility
What should be included with a high-end Data Domain appliance?

Refer to the Exhibit.

A large mining company wants to implement replication using EMC Data Domain systems in
multiple cities. How should the customer’s design requirements be addressed?

Refer to Scenario 4.

An enterprise customer would like to better address business continuity at all branch offices. Their
corporate data center resides in Chicago, Illinois and they would like all branch office data centers
to use Chicago as the destination for replicating backups.
Each branch office has a mixture of databases, e-mail, and other data that need full backups on
Friday evenings and daily incremental backups. Based on their new Chief Technology Officer’s
experience with deduplication, they are installing EMC Data Domain devices at all sites to take
advantage of the lower bandwidth requirements for backup replications.
The backup requirements for the branch offices are:
New York, Denver, and Houston = 100 GB full, 20% daily incremental
SCO, Seattle, and Kansas City = 20 GB full, 20% dairy incremental
The backup window for all branch offices is 15 hours on Friday evenings. What is the throughput
required between Seattle and Chicago to enable these replications?
