Veritas NetBackup 8.3 and NetBackup Appliances 3.3 Administrator — Question 20

Weekly full backups run for clientA on master1 using a storage unit that belongs to media1. The administrator is required to retain clientAs full backups for a period of four months. When the administrator modifies the full schedule, an option for 4 months is missing from the Retention drop-down list.
How can the administrator add a four month retention?

Answer options

• A. modify an existing retention level in the master server host properties, under Retention Periods
• B. ignore the selection list and type in the desired retention period directly
• C. add a new retention period in the media server host properties, under Retention Periods
• D. increase the Image cleanup interval in the master server host properties, under Clean-up

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as adding a new retention period in the media server host properties allows for the creation of a four-month option. Option A is incorrect because modifying existing retention levels does not add new options, while option B is not valid since manual entry is not supported. Option D does not address the need for a specific retention period but rather deals with cleanup intervals, making it irrelevant.
