How many IBM Spectrum Protect Plus servers are required to back up the environment?

Answer options

• B. each site requires a IBM Spectrum Protect Plus server
• C. a single IBM Spectrum Protect Plus server is required for an enterprise
• D. three IBM Spectrum Protect Plus server are required

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because each site, both the main data centers and the remote sites, needs its own IBM Spectrum Protect Plus server to manage backups effectively. Option A is incorrect as it suggests a server for each ESX server, which is unnecessary. Option C is not accurate since a single server cannot manage backups for multiple sites effectively, and option D overestimates the number of servers needed.
