Veritas NetBackup 8.3 and NetBackup Appliances 3.3 Administrator — Question 10
An administrator needs to decrease the total amount of time required to back up a UNIX file server, but requires a full backup every night recovery purposes.
How should the administrator proceed?
Answer options
- A. use policy compression
- B. use NetBackup Accelerator
- C. use change journal
- D. use client-side deduplication
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Client-side deduplication minimizes the amount of data sent to the backup server by eliminating duplicate data before the backup process starts, which significantly reduces backup time. The other options, while beneficial for different scenarios, do not specifically address the need to decrease backup duration while maintaining nightly full backups.
