You need to edit/change the mcserver.xml file in the Avamar configuration procedure for use as a
deduplication node in EMC NetWorker. What is the reason for making the change?

A large Oracle customer has been performing backups of their databases to NFS mounts
presented from their EMC Data Domain system. In addition, they have directory replication
configured to replicate data from the primary Data Domain to a system at their alternate data
center. They are now interested in testing DD Boost for Oracle RMAN to backup the databases.
What is required to enable this configuration?

A customer is using EMC Avamar as a backup solution for MS SQL servers with different point-intime backups. Management requires a reliable way to restore the database to a specific point in
time.
Which type of restore meets this requirement?

You are designing a backup solution for a large VMware environment. You are planning to use

snapshot technology to backup the virtual machines but management has expressed concerns
over how long the snapshots will take to create.
What is a way to reduce the time it takes to create a snapshot?

Scenario 6
A customer recently implemented an EMC Avamar solution in their primary data center. The
environment consists of several Microsoft applications, including Microsoft SharePoint, Exchange,
and SQL. An EMC Data Domain system was also deployed behind Avamar as the backup
destination for these applications. There are also several file system clients that have been
configured to back up directly to the Avamar server.
One Avamar server and two Data Domain systems have been deployed to support this
configuration. The Avamar server is operating close to full capacity and there is no room for
expansion since it is already fully provisioned with the maximum number of nodes. The Data
Domain systems have plenty of capacity left; each system is currently at 35% of utilization.
Refer to Scenario 6.
The customer now wants to replicate all backup data to a secondary site for disaster recovery
reasons. At a minimum, how many systems need to be deployed at the secondary site to satisfy
this request?

Scenario 1
You have a customer with a large IBM Lotus Domino environment. The customer is in the process
of migrating from a UNIX to a Microsoft Windows infrastructure. As part of this process, they are
going to perform a refresh of the hardware and software that Domino is running on. In addition,
they will migrate all client backups to a new EMC NetWorker environment. The new backup
environment consists of a NetWorker server and two storage nodes running on Windows 2008.
The Domino environment consists of a single server running two instances of Domino. The total
amount of data that needs to be backed up is approximately 900 GB. The Domino server will have
connections to both the SAN and the LAN. They would like to perform hot backups of the
databases using the NMDA but are leaving specific design decisions to you.
Additionally, the customer would like to send all data to disk for onsite backups and clone the first
full backup of the year to tape for long-term offsite retention. The backup target infrastructure
consists of a single Quantum i2000 tape library with six LTO-4 tape drives in addition to two EMC
Data Domain 890s. One Data Domain will be located at their primary site. The second Data
Domain is at the disaster recovery (DR) site as a replication target for the first.
One of the customer’s major concerns is the backup speed of the Domino environment. They are
interested in any best practices they can implement to improve backup performance at the Domino
level. Furthermore, they are looking for guidance in using NMDA to backup the data and leverage
their backup infrastructure in the most efficient way.
Refer to Scenario 1.
To achieve optimal backup performance, which recommendation would you make regarding the
disk layout of their Domino server?

Refer to the Exhibit.

A customer is currently using an EMC NetWorker server and NMM 2.3 to backup all their SQL
servers. They have a business requirement to comply with SLA standards, to expand the recovery
capabilities, and be more flexible and faster in recovery.
How would this requirement be accomplished?

Scenario 2
An EMC NetWorker customer wants to add their Microsoft Exchange 2007 servers to their backup
environment. The databases are stored on SAN volumes. There are three mailbox servers, each
hosting 10 storage groups.
Refer to Scenario 2.
What is the recommended method for restoring items from an individual mailbox?

Refer to the Exhibit.

A customer has asked you to deploy a Microsoft Exchange backup solution. The customer’s
environment consists of the following:
Microsoft Exchange Server 2010
EMC NetWorker Module for Microsoft Applications
EMC NetWorker server software
EMC Data Domain
The customer wants to keep the point-in-time copy on disk and store another backup on the Data
Domain device. Which configuration setting must be added and/or changed?

An EMC NetWorker customer has asked you to deploy a Microsoft Exchange 2010 backup
solution using NMM. They have two Microsoft Exchange 2010 servers in a Database Availability
group (exch2010a and exch2010b). The client resource for ‘exch2010a’ is shown in the exhibit.

Which Exchange databases are backed up?
