EMC Proven Professional – ECS Specialist — Question 4

Which server executes the read/write requests in a backup environment consisting of a Dell EMC Data Domain and IBM Spectrum Protect?

Answer options

• A. Master Server
• B. App Agent
• C. Media Agent
• D. Media Server

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The Media Agent is responsible for managing the data transfer between the backup media and the storage system, which includes executing read/write operations. The Master Server oversees the overall backup process but does not handle the actual data transfer, while the App Agent is used for application-specific backups, and the Media Server refers to the physical or virtual machine that hosts the Media Agent.
