E20-598 Exam Dumps - Backup Recovery - Avamar Specialist Exam for Storage Administrators

Explanation/Reference:

You must use the backup agents to backup Exchange and SQL. Databases on Image level backups will not beconsistent.

To backup the environments, you would need to do a guest level backup. i.e. Install the avamar agent, and theexchange VSS plugin on the Exchange server, and the SQL plugin on the sql server.

If you want to backup the OS, ensure you create windows datasets to skip the database files on the server,otherwise you'll be backing up database files that look totally different each time (consuming huge amounts ofspace on the grid), that will be no good to you (they'll be inconsistent)!

Besides the above points, the Exchange VSS plugin has some fairly useful functionality, like being able tobackup databases in parrallel, and being able to do granular level restores (i'm still trying to get this to work).

Well worth using.

Avamar ensures protection from disk and data corruption through the use of RAID (redundant array ofindependent disks). The type of RAID depends on the particular node type.

The phases of hfscheck mentioned above run in the following sequence:

1- indexsweep

2- datasweep

3- paritysweep

4- refcheck

During the indexsweep phase, the system confirms the integrity of the index (the index is the "table of contents"for all the data on the system) and also caches the index entries for each data chunk onto the same disk wherethe chunk itself is stored. This is done to improve the performance of later phases of the hfscheck.The datasweep phase is typically the longest phase of hfscheck. This phase reads each data chunk from thesystem and compares the hash of that chunk with the hash that is recorded in the index. This confirms thateach data chunk is the same as it was when it was backed up.

As I'm sure you know, multi-node Avamar systems are protected by RAIN parity. During the paritysweepphase, the parity information is recalculated and checked against the parity information on disk.

The refcheck phase of hfscheck checks the referential integrity of the backups by verifying that every chunk ofdata that is referenced by a backup can be found in the index.
