Dell EMC Specialist – Systems Administrator, PowerProtect DD — Question 14

Which component executes the read/write requests in a backup environment consisting of a PowerProtect DD appliance and IBM Spectrum Protect?

Answer options

• A. Spectrum Protect Server
• B. Media Server
• C. Media Agent
• D. Master Server

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The Media Agent is responsible for executing read/write operations in the backup environment, effectively managing data transfer between the source and storage. The Spectrum Protect Server manages overall backup and restore tasks, while the Media Server serves as a bridge but does not directly handle the requests. The Master Server is not typically a component in this specific context.
