Veritas NetBackup 8.3 and NetBackup Appliances 3.3 Administrator — Question 27

Which two performance scenarios benefit from seeding the MSDP pool? (Select two.)

Answer options

• A. new client backups over WAN
• B. new application backups over SAN
• C. new VADP VMware backups using media server as the backup host
• D. new replication to a new DR site
• E. new clients with large file systems containing small files

Correct answer: A, E

Explanation

Seeding the MSDP pool enhances performance for new client backups over WAN (A) by reducing the amount of data transmitted across the network. Additionally, it is beneficial for new clients with large file systems containing small files (E), as it helps to optimize the deduplication process and minimize the backup window. The other options do not experience the same level of performance enhancement from seeding.
