Dell EMC Associate – Cloud Infrastructure and Services v4 — Question 5

Which is a benefit of implementing target-based deduplication?

Answer options

• A. Offloads the backup client from the deduplication process
• B. Reduces storage capacity and network bandwidth requirements
• C. Backup client sends only new and unique segments across the network
• D. Optimizes ROBO environments for centralized backup

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer, A, is valid because target-based deduplication shifts the deduplication workload away from the backup client, allowing it to focus on other tasks. Options B and C, while they describe benefits of deduplication, do not specifically relate to the target-based approach. Option D is also not the primary benefit of target-based deduplication.
