An EMC Avamar customer has an Avamar server with four 3.9 TB nodes. They are planning to add a new client to backup to this server. This client has 4 GB of RAM and two file systems. The first file system has 3 million files consuming .75 TB of space. The second file system contains 5 million files consuming 1 TB of space.
The customer wants to establish a benchmark for the client's backups in order to determine if the client cache files need tuning. Based on typical performance statistics, how many hours is the steady state backup expected to run?

An EMC customer has NetWorker integrated with an Avamar deduplication node. They want to size the AFTD for storing metadata for 800 million files from various client backups.
Based on EMC best practices, what is the recommended AFTD size?

A backup administrator is looking for advice on how to achieve a steady state condition for their multi-node Dell EMC Avamar server with five storage nodes. What is the approximate amount of storage that garbage collection should free up at steady state?

A customer has a large database server they would like to back up using EMC Avamar integration with Data Domain. The server is an Intel x86-based machine with 16 GB of RAM. In addition, the server has 10 GbE connectivity to the Data Domain and 1 GbE to the Avamar server.
Which initial p_cache and f_cache settings will maximize performance when using the Data Domain client?

A company is running a Dell EMC Avamar server. They want to ensure that sensitive data, included in a file that was recently backed up, is removed from the Avamar server.
What should be done before running the securedelete command?

You have been tasked with installing a 1 TB Avamar AVE server in an ESX environment for a new customer.
The customer has thick provisioned the correct amount of LUNs with the correct sizing. The Performance Assurance Tool (PAT) has been loaded on the ESX environment and ran for 24 hours. The results come back and the test did not pass the requirements for an AVE installation.
The customer says the test was not valid because there was a high load on their ESX environment at the same time the test was running. They want to run the test again.
Should the tests be run again without any changes to the environment?

A customer wants to restore a database to a certain point in time. The latest full backup and incremental backups are accessible and the original database is still online.
What could be causing the point-in-time restore to fail?

A customer is performing a restore of a Microsoft SQL database with the tail-log backup option. However, the restore process is failing.
What is a possible cause of this behavior?

A customer is using EMC Avamar Extended Retention to send Oracle backup data to a tape library. The Avamar server is performing daily full backups of a 30 GB database that has a change rate of 5 GB per day.
Overall, the database size does not change significantly. The customer uses Avamar Extended Retention to export all backups from the last seven days.
Approximately how much capacity should they expect to use on tape from this one export?

A new EMC Avamar customer is planning to have a multi-node Avamar server replicate to an offsite multi-node Avamar server. Because their data is extremely sensitive, they are concerned about the security of the backup environment.
The customer is planning to encrypt all network transmissions. They also want to use encryption-at-rest on the primary Avamar backup server to provide an additional level of data security for their stored backup data.
What is an expected outcome of deploying this configuration?

A customer has been using EMC Avamar for deduplication backups of VMware. They have been performing guest level backups and now want to perform VMware image backups for disaster recovery. In order to perform image backups, what is recommended for this environment?

A company has a large Oracle 11g database backed up nightly to an Avamar server. The backup is exceeding their backup window.
What recommendations can you give to the company to help fit into their backup window?

A customer is using an EMC Avamar server to backup SQL databases. They often have a need to perform redirected recoveries of these databases to a different server. They are challenged by the fact that the storage layout on the recovery server does not always match the original backup causing the recovery to fail. What is the most efficient method to overcome their challenge?
