EMC Proven Professional – XtremIO Specialist — Question 6

After backups are expired and data is marked for deletion, when is space freed up on an EMC Data Domain file system?

Answer options

• A. After completion of the next file system cleaning
• B. Daily at 6 AM
• C. Immediately after the data is marked for deletion
• D. When the Data Domain system is rebooted

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because space is only released when the Data Domain system is rebooted after data is marked for deletion. Options A and C are incorrect because they suggest that space is freed during routine cleaning or immediately, which does not occur. Option B is also incorrect as it implies a scheduled time for space release that does not align with the system's operation.
