An EMC NetWorker customer has been using an EMC Disk Library (EDL) for over 4 years. The
EDL has reached its capacity limits. The customer is in the process of virtualizing as many
physical servers as possible to reclaim data center floor space. They are backing up numerous 8
TB databases.
The customer is interested in replacing the EDL. The replacement must maintain a single point of
backup administration and reduce backup times for their growing virtualized environment.
What is the recommended solution?

An EMC customer has been using NetWorker backup and has recently added an Avamar system
for file system backups. The customer wants to move all backups to the Avamar system to take
advantage of deduplication. They are currently backing up Sybase and SAP with NetWorker.
What is your recommendation to meet these requirements?

An EMC NetWorker customer is considering backup options for their VMware environment. What
is an advantage of using the VMware Console Backup option?

A customer uses EMC NetWorker with a deduplication node. The deduplication node is physically
located in a remote office connected by a slow link. The customer is using an AFTD to store the
save set containing the deduplicated backup metadata.
What is the NetWorker behavior if the deduplication node is unavailable?

Based on EMC best practices, when sizing a NetWorker storage node, how many CPU MHz are
recommended for each MB/s of data backed up?

In an EMC NetWorker environment, a firewall is configured to allow communication over ports
9000 and 9001 from the DMZ. The NetWorker Management Console can be accessed from the
DMZ but database queries cannot be performed.
Which port needs to be opened on the firewall?

An EMC NetWorker customer performs daily full LAN backups of a busy application server to
physical tape. The application server uses the compressasm directive to reduce LAN backup
traffic. While the backup completes within the required backup window, the customer notices that
the application is performing poorly.
What can be done to improve application performance while maintaining minimum network traffic?

You are redesigning an EMC NetWorker customer’s backup solution. Currently some of the file
system clients are backing up to an Avamar deduplication node. The customer wants to back up
these clients to a new Avamar deduplication node.
What is an implication of this decision?

You are adding an Avamar deduplication node to a customer’s EMC NetWorker environment.
Clients currently back up to tape and perform full backups on Sunday and incrementals on all
other days.
In the new solution, these clients will back up to the deduplication node. The speed of recovery is
important to the customer. Which changes may be required to the backup schedule?

A customer has had a failure of the primary deduplication node and needs EMC NetWorker to
recover the data from the replication node.
What will enable recovery from the replication target node?
