A customer has a large VMware environment that they are currently backing up using the EMC
Avamar client option at the guest level. Performance has never been an issue.
As the customer adds more guests, how can they avoid performance issues?

A customer has asked you to design an EMC Avamar and Data Domain integrated solution for
their environment. As you review the design for the Microsoft Exchange portion of the solution, the
customer would like you to explain the backup process.
How would you respond?

You are designing an EMC NetWorker deduplication solution using EMC Avamar for a customer.
When performing a backup containing multiple save sets to a deduplication node, what is the
recommended maximum number of save sets that can be backed up concurrently?

A customer is using Data Protection Advisor (DPA) to perform system monitoring of both Microsoft
Windows and Solaris clients. When deciding where to place the Collector(s) in the environment,
what is a consideration?

A customer has data at several remote offices that need to be backed up over a secure Internet
connection to their data center. However, bandwidth is constrained. A major portion of their
backup data will be file system data. In addition, they have a 6 TB database in the primary data
center with a 6% change rate that needs to be backed up.

Which EMC backup solution will work best for this customer?

A customer is concerned about data remaining on their new EMC Avamar system after an
individual backup is deleted. The securedelete function has been run after the backup was
deleted. To ensure the process is complete, what else should be done?

You are having a preliminary discussion with a prospective customer. The customer would like to
know the deduplication rates that are typically when running initial EMC Avamar backups for file
system and database data.
Which information should be provided to the customer?

As shown in the exhibit, a customer has configured EMC Data Domain for management. They
have noticed performance issues when using the configuration.

How many Mtrees should be removed to improve the performance?

A customer performs weekly full backups and daily incremental backups. A typical full backup is 5
TB. A full backup completes in 10 hours v incremental backup completes in 4 hours.
Based on best practices, what is the minimum EMC Data Domain throughput required?

A customer is running the backup and recovery configuration shown in the exhibit. They added a
new VMware cluster with 100 virtual machines. They are now experiencing slow backups at
certain times.
What should the customer have done prior to making changes to the configuration?
