Veritas NetBackup 8.3 and NetBackup Appliances 3.3 Administrator — Question 23

A NetBackup appliance administrator observes poor performance on backups to an MSDP pool. The job details indicate bpbkar is waiting for empty buffers.
Where should the administrator tune the appliance?

Answer options

• A. Main_Menu > Settings > NetBackup DataBuffers > Size > Defaults
• B. the bp.conf file’s NUMBER_DATA_BUFFERS setting
• C. the bp.conf file’s NUMBER_DATA_BUFFERS_DISK setting
• D. Main_Menu > Settings > NetBackup DataBuffers > Size > Disk

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because adjusting the NUMBER_DATA_BUFFERS setting in the bp.conf file directly impacts how many data buffers are available for backup operations. Options A and D refer to settings within the appliance's menu that do not specifically address the buffer count for backups, while option C pertains to a different setting that is not relevant to the issue described.
