EMC Proven Professional – XtremIO Specialist — Question 1

What is a benefit of snapshots on an EMC Data Domain system?

Answer options

• A. Provides data restoration from a specific point in time for deleted data
• B. Requires no disk space to store
• C. Included with the replication license
• D. Provides NDMP backups to a remote site

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because snapshots enable NDMP backups to be sent to a remote site, ensuring data is safely backed up offsite. Option A is incorrect as snapshots do not only focus on deleted data but capture the entire state. Option B is misleading since snapshots do consume some disk space for their metadata. Option C is not accurate as snapshots are not exclusively tied to the replication license.
