A customer has asked you to design a backup solution that has a NAS device with several
terabytes of encrypted data spread across three different file systems. Which backup option
should be avoided in this environment?

What are the key concerns when discussing the implementation of a Celerra two-way
NDMP backup design utilizing the SnapSure feature?

An EMC NetWorker customer is experiencing poor backup performance, Your analysis
determines that significant host resources are used to manage low-level network
handshaking operations during backup. Based on EMC recommendations, what can you do
to alleviate the handshake issue?

A customer has purchased Data Protection Advisor (DPA) to provide a single enterprise
report on backup compliance across their 24 geographically disperse locations. How many
DPA servers should be installed?

A customer requires a backup host to be located at their primary data center and a tape
library at their disaster recovery data center. The distance between the two data centers is
500 kilometers. What is the recommended connectivity solution between the data center
and the tape library to address the customer’s requirement?

Which environment will yield the optimal data deduplication for backup purposes?

You have been asked to design a new backup solution for a customer to satisfy operational
backup requirements. After an initial analysis you decide to implement a two-tier solution.
The first tier is disk; the second tier is tape. A retention period needs to be defined for the
first tier that will determine when backup data will be moved to the second tier. What is an
important piece of information you need to consider when determining this retention period?

An EMC Avamar customer has a heavily utilized ESX system CPU utilization is a concern.
Each guest system, all of which are Linux must be backed up with file granularity. The
customer has both Avamar and NetWorker available and is looking to EMC for guidance
What is considered the most suitable approach to meet these requirements?

An EMC NetWorker customer is considering using the deduplication feature with Avamar.
What is a requirement when performing backups to a deduplication node?

A customer has recently added a Celerra to their environment and has asked you to assess
their current data protection methodology. They currently have an EMC NetWorker
environment using an EMC Disk Library (EDL) as the primary backup location before they
move the virtual tapes to physical tapes. How over, the rate of change of the data on the
Celerra is too high for their RPO using the EDL for single file recovery if their backups are
performed only at the end of the business day. What would you incorporate to lessen the
impact of their once-a-day backup schedule on the Celerra data with minimal impact to their
backup administration processes?
