Dell EMC Associate – Information Storage and Management v5 — Question 65

What is a function of a continuous data protection (CDP) appliance?

Answer options

• A. Runs data protection software and manages replications within and across data centers
• B. Migrates deduplicated data from the source volume to the target volume during replication
• C. Stores all data that has changed from the time the replication session started
• D. Intercepts writes to the production volume and splits each write into two copies

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because a CDP appliance's primary function is to run data protection software and manage the replication processes across data centers. Option B is incorrect as it describes a data migration process, not the main function of a CDP appliance. Option C refers to data retention rather than the management role, and option D discusses write interception, which is not the primary role of a CDP appliance.
