An organization wants to deploy a centralized backup and data deduplication solution for its
backup environment. Currently, the organization is backing up data locally at offices located at
dispersed locations. In addition, they are concerned about the backup window size and data
security with a centralized backup.
To address the organization’s needs and concerns, which deduplication strategy would you
recommend?

When designing a backup solution, what is affected by the recovery point objective (RPO)?

A company performs a full backup on the first Sunday of the month followed by a cumulative
backup on all other Sundays. In addition, they perform an incremental backup each day, that is,
Monday through Saturday.
Tapes are sent offsite for archiving every day at 11 P.M. However, the company experiences a
system crash on the Wednesday of the third week at 2 P.M. This incident requires a full system
restore.
How many backups need to be retrieved in order to perform a restore?

A company is using a backup server and a storage node to back up data. Currently, daily backups
take more than 24 hours to complete. Backup management software analysis indicates that the
physical tape libraries and network are performing fine.
What would you recommend to improve backup performance?

A company has a backup environment where the device name changes on the backup client when
the system reboots. This activity causes management overhead.
To avoid this issue, which solution would you recommend?

What has the largest impact on the recovery time objective (RTO) within the backup environment?

What is a consideration, when performing a block-level incremental backup?

A company has several remote offices, and each office has its own backup infrastructure. Each
remote office has a backup server, a storage node, and a physical tape library to back up data.
The company is facing challenges in managing the backup environment.
Which recommendation would you make to reduce the company’s backup management
challenges?

A company uses NDMP to back up a NAS device to a dedicated tape library. The backup
administrator is experiencing poor performance while restoring a small set of files.

What would you recommend to improve the recovery time?

What accurately represents a consolidated backup on a virtual machine?
