A customer has recently added a Celerra to their environment and has asked you to assess their current data protection methodology. They currently have an EMC NetWorker environment using an EMC Disk Library (EDL) as the primary backup location before they move the virtual tapes to physical tapes. How over, the rate of change of the data on the Celerra is too high for their RPO using the EDL for single file recovery if their backups are
performed only at the end of the business day. What would you incorporate to lessen the impact of their once-a-day backup schedule on the Celerra data with minimal impact to their backup administration processes?
