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 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 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 refreshof 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?

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?

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?

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

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?

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

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