A customer has four EMC Avamar servers located in a centralized disaster recovery site, each
receiving replicated data from several remote sites. Several client backups are in the range of 1 – 4
TBs per dataset with file counts of 2 – 4 million files. Due to capacity limitations, Avamar retention
value is limited to two months and tapeout is being used to provide extended retention of up to five
years.
The nature of the customer’s business requires frequent lookups of historical data, often beyond
the Avamar 2-month retention period. Therefore, quick recovery of files from tape is required.
Compliance requirements mandate tapeout be performed on a weekly basis. The customer is
considering Avamar Data Transport (ADT) or Avamar Tape Out (ATO).
Which tapeout solution is best suited for this environment?

A.
ADT for its file level recovery capabilities from tape and its ability to process several TBs per
day

B.
ATO due to its file level recovery capabilities from tape and its ability to process several TBs
per day

C.
ADT due to its ability to write deduplicated data to tape and its ability to process several TBs
per day

D.
ATO due to its ability to write deduplicated data to tape and its ability to process several TBs
per day
