A customer has informed you that they would like to purchase an EMC Avamar solution. They plan
to implement enhanced security by encrypting all backup data that is stored on the Avamar server.
During the final sizing of this solution, what should be taken into consideration?

An existing EMC Avamar customer wants to start backing up their VMware environment. The
customer requires the ability to perform file level restores of their Microsoft Windows clients and is
concerned about any potential negative impact of backups on the ESX server. In addition, there is
a short backup window so it is important that backups complete as fast as possible.

Which backup method will meet the customer’s needs?

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?

A customer wants to back up VMware using EMC Avamar to leverage deduplication. They want to
use the VMware Image Backup option. Which component of the backup environment requires the
Avamar client agent?

A new customer wants to use EMC NetWorker to protect the servers in their environment. One of
their requirements is that NetWorker be configured with the NetWorker server clustered for high
availability.
What is required for the NetWorker server to be used in this configuration?

A customer has decided on EMC Avamar as a solution. They are trying to decide on the amount of
nodes to purchase. They want maximum storage capacity.
What is a recommended maximum number of data nodes for an initial Avamar server
configuration?

Which features will have a negative impact on the performance of an EMC Data Domain system?

A new EMC Avamar customer is concerned with data security since all backup data is stored on
disk. To minimize the customer’s concerns, you have recommended the encryption-at-rest feature.
What is a consideration when using this feature?

A customer has a new EMC Avamar server with four 3.9 TB data nodes. This server is backing up
two Avamar clients. The first client has 8 GB of RAM and two file systems. The first file system has
3 million files consuming .75 TB. The second file system contains 5 million files consuming 1 TB of
space. The second client has 10 GB of RAM and one file system containing 4 million files is
consuming 1.2 TB of space. Both clients will belong to the same backup group.
How long will the steady state backup group be expected to run?

A customer’s backup solution is reaching the end of warranty. The customer has installed an
Avamar solution for their file server and ESX servers. They want to move all the backups to this
environment.
Deduplication for the databases is critical and they want to maintain the EMC Data Domain VTL.
In order to integrate Data Domain into the Avamar installation, which hardware and software
options need to be installed on the Data Domain system?
