Veritas NetBackup 8.1.x and NetBackup Appliances 3.1.x Administrator — Question 3

An administrator has a backup policy with the following policy attributes:
✑ 3 paths listed in the Backup Selections list
✑ 5 clients listed in the Clients list
✑ Allow multiple data streams is selected
✑ Limit jobs per policy is set to 4
How many jobs go Active when the job is started, excluding parent jobs, assuming there are enough storage resources to handle the expected jobs?

Answer options

• A. 3
• B. 4
• C. 12
• D. 15

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is 12 because with 3 paths and 5 clients, the maximum number of jobs that can run concurrently is the product of these two, which is 15. However, since the limit set for jobs per policy is 4, only 12 jobs can go active under the condition that enough resources are available to support them.
