You have been tasked with designing a backup solution using EMC NetWorker to backup a
VMware environment. The environment will be using virtual NetWorker proxies to perform imagebased backups. You will need to backup 36 virtual disks at a time in order to meet the backup
window. The ESX hosts used in this environment are high-end and have a lot of processing
power.
What is the recommended way to configure NetWorker proxies to meet this design?

A client has a large ESX environment that they backup using EMC NetWorker. Their virtual
machines are a mix of database and non-database servers. They currently perform guest-based
backups so that their database server backups are application consistent.
They have asked you to address some performance issues they have been encountering.
Specifically, network utilization is high during backups. They would like you to provide a
recommendation to reduce network traffic without adding additional cost while retaining application
consistency.
What is a recommended solution that addresses the customer’s issues?

An EMC customer has been experiencing an Avamar performance issue on a Microsoft Windows
client. Technical Support has recommended that the maximum amount of file cache and hash
cache be increased from 512 MB to 896 MB and 256 MB to 448 MB respectively.
How much memory is needed to support the increase in cache size?

An existing EMC Avamar customer would like to configure their Oracle servers to their Avamar
backup environment. The environment consists of two standalone Oracle servers and one twonode RAC configuration.
In addition to installing the file system client on each node, what must be done to complete the
configuration?

An EMC NetWorker customer has asked you to deploy a Microsoft Exchange 2007 backup
solution using NMM. They want single mailbox recovery capability.
What needs to be performed?

A customer has configured their existing EMC NetWorker 7.6.1 to use a Data Domain device type.
A single DD Boost device has been configured to backup two local clients. The target sessions
and max sessions has been set to 6 and 10 respectively.
The customer will be adding two additional clients. They want to increase the target sessions to 12
and max sessions to 15 for the configured DD Boost device.
In order to meet the customer’s objective, what must be done?

An EMC NetWorker customer wants to replicate backup data stored on their Data Domain system

to a new, offsite Data Domain system. They want the benefits of replicating data in deduplicated
format. However, they also want to be able to manage and report on the replicated save sets
using NetWorker media database information.
To meet their requirements, which method of storing backup data on the Data Domain system and
which type of replication should be used?

A Symantec NetBackup customer is planning to add a second data center. They would like to
leverage deduplication technology to improve backup operations and disaster recovery with a
minimum amount of change to their existing backup environment. The customer’s primary design
goals are:
1. Improve backup performance
2. Electronic vaulting for disaster recovery
3. Maintain NetBackup as their primary tool for backup control and visibility
What should be included with a high-end Data Domain appliance?

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

A customer is using EMC Avamar as a backup solution for MS SQL servers with different point-intime backups. The SLA prevents recovery back to the original database.
What is the recovery requirement when the SQL instance has the same name?
