Click the Calculator icon in the upper left-hand corner.
In an EMC NetWorker environment, the customer is backing up 500 GB per day. The 500 GB is comprised of 35,000 very large files. According to EMC best practices, approximately how large will the Client File Index (CFI) be?

Answer options

• A. 6 MB
• B. 4 MB
• C. 8 MB
• D. 10 MB

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as EMC best practices suggest that the size of the Client File Index (CFI) is typically about 0.01% of the total data backed up, which in this case would lead to an approximate size of 8 MB. Options A, B, and D do not align with this calculation and therefore are incorrect.
