Veritas NetBackup 8.3 and NetBackup Appliances 3.3 Administrator — Question 11

A NetBackup environment with a single tape storage unit is experiencing performance issues when running full backups of a Windows file server with over a million small files. Backups for all other clients on the same network are performing adequately.
What should the administrator modify to improve performance for the client?

Answer options

• A. enable Windows Change Journal
• B. modify data buffer settings for the data path
• C. enable the Use Accelerator policy attribute
• D. use Flashbackup-Windows policy type

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Enabling the Windows Change Journal allows for more efficient tracking of changes to files, significantly improving backup performance for environments with a large number of small files. The other options, while potentially beneficial in different scenarios, do not specifically address the performance issues related to the sheer volume of small files in this case.
