An EMC NetWorker customer wants to use Data Domain Boost to take advantage of less LAN traffic traversing the network. However, after performing a backup, the LAN administrator noticed that the same amount of data is being transmitted from the storage node to the Data Domain as it is from the client to the storage node. What needs to be enabled to take advantage of DD Boost on the storage node?

In a customer's backup environment, EMC Avamar is integrated as a deduplication node with NetWorker. The customer wants to run multiple simultaneous backups from the same client. What is the recommended maximum number of simultaneous streams?
3.
You have been asked to redesign an EMC NetWorker environment using Data Domain with DD Boost. When considering the memory requirements for the Data Domain devices, the DD Boost client has 4 GB of RAM using one stream. What is the minimum memory requirement for each single stream?

An EMC NetWorker backup environment has 300 clients distributed among three subnets. All clients send their backup to the NetWorker server. The customer is experiencing poor performance during backups. Which modification to the existing environment will improve the backup performance at minimal cost?

A potential customer is looking for a backup solution that meets the following requirements:
- Backup their NAS data using a backup server directly to tape
- Backup their Oracle database using RMAN to a deduplication system
- Backup data on disk should be protected from accidental deletes or overwrite

A customer with 20,000 desktop/laptop (DT/LT) clients has expanded their custom set of includes/excludes for their Avamar DT/LT solution to cover all non-business files in their environment. Upon implementation of these datasets, they find that backups are not completing in the expected time frame. They need advice on managing their backups to fit the backup window. Based on best practices, what should be recommended?

A customer has 20,000 desktop/laptop (DT/LT) clients and six new Avamar 1x16 servers. They are having difficulty with initial backups and backups not completing during the backup window. Based on best practices, which recommendation can be provided to address these issues?
9.
A customer is planning to consolidate their backup environment using EMC NetWorker and Data Domain with replication. The customer's WAN is managed by a third-party and firewall exceptions must be requested in advance. Which protocol and port number does Data Domain use for replication?
10.
After a backup assessment, you determined that customer data deduplicates well. After deduplication, the data consists of 100 laptops and desktops with .5 TB, a file server with 5 million files in 1 TB, and several database servers with 5 TB. The customer requires deduplication with the shortest possible backup window. Which solution should be architected with as few components as possible?
