Backup Recovery Solutions Expert Exam for Technology Architects v6.0 (E20-891)

A customer has an EMC VNX Series NAS with seven million files on an NFS share and two million files on a CIFS share. The customer is looking for a way to protect their data against data loss.
Which backup method is most cost effective and ensures that file attributes are protected during the backup?

A customer has an EMC NetWorker and Avamar integrated datazone. The datazone consists of an Avamar server, an Avamar replication server, and a single NetWorker server. Backups, restores, and replication have been successful. The customer noticed that expired savesets are not being deleted from the Avamar replication server.
What would prevent the savesets from being removed from the Avamar system?

An EMC NetWorker customer has a corporate requirement for secondary offsite backup to meet governmental regulations. What is the NetWorker disaster recovery best practice for client backups performed on a NetWorker deduplication node?

An EMC NetWorker customer has just started running backups of their new Microsoft
SharePoint distributed farm. They are concerned that their web applications are not being backed up.
What can you tell the customer about backing up web applications?

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 willhave 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.
Following a full backup of both Domino instances on the server, at which level of granularity can data be recovered from this backup?

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?

An EMC customer uses an Avamar server with an integrated Data Domain system at their data center to protect a number of Microsoft Exchange servers and Oracle databases. The customer also has several remote offices. Each remote office has a single node Avamar server backing up the local clients. All backups from the remote offices are replicated to the data center.
Following an acquisition, the company needs to add 10 new remote offices to its Avamar data protection solution. Three of these offices host Oracle databases with approximately 8
TB in size. All backup data from the remote sites need to be replicated to the primary data center while keeping the data traffic on the WAN to a minimum. They also want to maintain centralized management and reporting capabilities.
Based on EMC best practices, how can this be accomplished?

A customer has asked you to design a Microsoft Exchange backup solution. The Exchange environment includes both Exchange Server 2007 and 2010. EMC NetWorker Module for
Microsoft is proposed.
What is required to use NMM for Exchange backups?

An EMC customer has a 10 TB Avamar system with two 10 TB integrated Data Domain systems. The customer is building a disaster recovery (DR) data center and would like to replicate all backups to the DR site.
Which setup would meet the requirements for data replication?

An EMC NetWorker customer is using NetWorker Module for Microsoft SQL to back up a large SQL database. They are storing the backup data on a NetWorker Data Domain device.
Which path does the backup data follow to the Data Domain device?

A customer has an EMC VNX series NAS and two Oracle database servers with 25 TB of data on each database. The customer is considering an Avamar/Data Domain backup solution.
What is the most efficient solution for this environment?

A customer with a full virtualized environment is protecting their virtual machines (VMs) with EMC NetWorker with VADP proxy host. Even though all the VMs are Microsoft
Windows based OS with NTFS, it is not possible to browse the file for recovery.
What is the reason for this issue?

While installing an EMC Avamar deduplication node in a NetWorker backup solution, the
Microsoft Windows client backup jobs fail to run. Which process should be running on the client during the backup?

A new EMC Avamar customer would like to configure backups of a single SQL instance running on a two-node Microsoft SQL cluster. To enable backups of the SQL database, what is the order of installation for the client software?
