A customer has deployed a hyperconverged environment based on HPE Simplivity at a number of their sites.

Before migrating workloads to the environment, you ask them about the backup policies In an HPE simpliVity solution to protect the actual data is this a design consideration that you should mention to your customer?

Solution: The preference of COW (Copy- On-Write) or ROW (Redirect-On-Writ e) -based snapshots

You meet with a customer who is having performance and stability issues with their tape-based backup environment based on HPE StoreEver systems

Should you use this tool to gather information and troubleshoot the Installed systems?

Solution: SAF Analyze

As It relates to application consistent backups, does this statement accurately describe the volume Shadow copy Service (VSS)?

Solution: The use of the VSS mechanism is only possible on Windows based VM's

A customer wants to replace an aging tape-based backup platform using a Grandfather-Father-Son (GFS) rotation scheme. They are considering replacing the entire solution with public cloud storage as a backup target is this a valid recommendation for this customer?

Solution: Cloud storage is ideal for the Grandfather copies of backup data for long-term data retention Keep an on-premises solution for the 'Son' copies to guarantee lower RTO and RPO numbers.

As it relates to application consistent backups, does this statement accurately describe the Volume Shadow copy Service (VSS)?

Solution: The VSS requestor instructs each VSS provider to perform a task to quiesce data.

After each VSS provider has completed these pre-backup tasks, the VSS writer Instructs the VSS requestor to create the snapshot.

Your customer has deployed two datacenters running a virtualized environment based on HPE Synergy. HPE Nimble storage protected by Veeam. and HPE StoreOnce appliances.

They run backup jobs to local NAS-based backup targets al night and run created replication fobs to replicate the backup data afterwards to the backup target In the other site.

The customer is concerned about the impact or replication jobs on the network bandwidth between the two sites, and wants your recommendations on how to optimize the replication traffic between the two sites.

Is this a valid recommendation?

Solution: Deploy additional Veeam Gateway Server functions to allow extension of available bandwidth to the backup targets.

A customer contacts you for assistance with performance troubleshooting of their backup environment because over the last few days they notice Increasing times tor backup completion. They see no apparent reason for this, since the data volume to be backed up did not change unusually compared to the previous days and weeks.

You also notice that the deduplication ratio, historically steady at about 20:1. is now gradually declining

Is this a potential cause or the problem?

Solution: Ransomware is encrypting data, making the dally incremental backups grow and lowering the deduplication ratio due to new content.

Your customer runs a hyperconverged solution based on HPE SimpliVity. with a built-in data protection mechanism from HPE SimpliVity They try to recover objects from a Microsoft Exchange server but cannot find the option in the user interface

Is this valid response regarding their problem?

Solution: Since HPE SimpliVity does not support Granular Object Restore (GRE). you must use an additional data protection application like Veeam

Your customer wants a suggestion for protection against ransomware.

Is this an appropriate suggestion regarding backup targets and their protection against ransomware?

Solution: You suggest tape drives or tape libraries with a tape rotation scheme where tapes are being physically moved to a vault at regular times.

You need to meet with a customer about replacing their aging EMC Data Domain-based platform with a new solution is this a tool that you could use to effectively assess current backup deployment?

Is this a tool that you could use to effectively assess current backup deployment?
