For single files, what is a benefit of using a disk-to-disk backup solution versus a backup-to-tape solution?

lower cost
transportability
increased capacity
faster restore

Correct answer: D

Explanation:

Disk-to-disk backup provides higher speed and higher capacity, relative to tape or floppy, resulting in shorter backup and recovery windows. References: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk-to-disk

A customer requests a new storage solution. The RTO is measured in days. Which cost-effective recovery option meets this requirement?

clustered HPE Storage array with backup to disks
highly available HPE Storage array with no backup
standalone HPE Storage array with HPE tape backup
redundant HPE Storage with replicated data offsite

Correct answer: D

Explanation:

Note: The recovery time objective (RTO) is the maximum tolerable length of time that a computer, system, network, or application can be down after a failure or disaster occurs.

Match the tools and resources with the features they provide.

Which back up strategy requires only one backup set to completely restore a system?

differential backup
full backup
incremental backup
working set backup

Correct answer: B

Explanation:

Full backup is the starting point for all other backups and contains all the data in the folders and files that are selected to be backed up. Because the full backup stores all files and folders, frequent full backups result in faster and simpler restore operations. References: http://www.backup4all.com/kb/full-backup-116.html

A customer has a Windows 2012 SQL Cluster running on HPE StoreEasy 1450 storage and wants to ensure that combined throughput of all network adapters is used on all cluster nodes together.

Which HPE StoreEasy system feature helps the customer meet this requirement?

Smart Pathing
Windows Native MPIO
NLB Teaming
SMB Multichannel

Correct answer: D

Explanation:

HPE StoreEasy 1000 and 3000 Storage systems are built on the Windows Storage Server 2012 R2 operating system. Windows Storage Server 2012 and 2012 R2 includes major new features in its SMB 3 network protocol stack, which can improve the performance and reliability of SQL server with databases stored on SMB 3 File Share on a StoreEasy Storage product:SMB multichannel uses multiple network interfaces if possible. (All StoreEasy models.) You can increase both the performance and reliability of the system as follows:Improve performance by providing the combined throughput of all network adapters and cluster nodes together.
