What is the storage path of the deduplication disk storage device?
The storage path of the deduplication disk storage device is

E:\BackupExecDeduplicationStorage
Folder. What is the data stream size?
The data stream size Indicates the size of a single write operation that Backup Exec
issues. The default size varies based on the type of device that is being used. For
this device the data stream size is 512 KB.
What is client-side deduplication? Is it enabled?
Client-side deduplication indicates whether client-side deduplication is enabled for

this OpenStorage device. Client-side deduplication enables a remote computer to
send data directly to an OpenStorage device. By using client-side deduplication, the
Backup Exec server is bypassed, which leaves the Backup Exec server free to
perform other operations. Client-side deduplication is enabled for this device.

The status of computer spandsql.example.com is displayed as Never backed up.
Is there any other server added in the Servers list? Why?
Yes, the Server Farm 1 is also added to the Servers list. The spandsql server
contains the binaries for the SharePoint farm. Hence, after installation of the Agent
for Windows on the spandsql server, Backup Exec is able to recognize the
SharePoint binaries, detect and add the SharePoint farm.

when you run it. When you run a test job, no data is backed up. Instead, Backup Exec
checks your storage capacity, credentials, and media to find potential errors. If there
is an error, the job continues to run until it is completed. The error appears in the
job log. You can also configure Backup Exec to send a notification to a designated
recipient.

̶ Retain the other default values.
19. In the left pane, click Microsoft Exchange, and perform the following tasks:
̶ Select the Perform a consistency check before backup when using

Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) snapshot provider check box.
What is the use of this option?
This option performs a consistency check when the Microsoft Volume Shadow
Copy Service option is selected. The option Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy
Service is automatically used whenever a software backup is selected on the
Advanced Disk-based Backup properties. You can also select the Microsoft
Volume Shadow Copy Service on the Advanced Open File backup properties.
The consistency check, which is run on the snapshot, determines if possible data
corruption exists. If this option is selected, and the dependent option Continue
with backup if consistency check fails is not selected, then data for specific
Exchange objects that are determined to be corrupt are not backed up. All other
non-corrupt Exchange objects are backed up.
̶ Select the Continue with backup if consistency check fails check box.
̶ In the High Availability Server (Exchange 2007 or later) box, select the Back up

This option lets you back up a passive copy of the database by default. Backup
Exec selects the passive copy based on your selections in the Preferred Server
settings. However, if the passive copy is not available, Backup Exec backs up the
active copy of the database. During the backup, database performance
degradation can occur if you have to back up the database over a WAN.

operation as a separate job immediately after the backup job finishes option.
What options do you have available in the Instant GRT and Full Catalog
Options screen?
In the Instant GRT and Full Catalog Options screen, you can choose from the
following options:
Lab 03-13

Enable Instant GRT Select this option if you want to run an Instant GRT
operation for GRT-enabled backup jobs.
This option is the default setting for all new

GRT-enabled backup jobs configured on a new
Backup Exec 20 installation.
If you select this option, the catalog operation runs

as part of the backup job and collects only the
minimum required catalog information.
With this option enabled, you cannot use the

Search wizard to search the backup sets for
granular data. However, you can browse the
backup sets. If you want to restore granular data
from the backup sets, Backup Exec browses the
backup sets for granular data as you browse for
items that you want to restore. If you select this
option, the time to browse granular data at the
time of restore is slightly longer.
Run a full catalog Select this option to run the full catalog operation
operation as a separate immediately after a backup job finishes. The
job immediately after catalog operation runs as a separate job.
the backup job finishes
For Exchange and SharePoint agent-based backups,
the full catalog operation runs immediately after all
full backups. It runs once every 24 hours for all
incremental backups and differential backups.
For Hyper-V and VMware backups, the full catalog

operation runs immediately after all full,
incremental, and differential backups.
Before the full catalog operation completes,

instead of using the Search wizard, you must
browse the backup sets to select the individual
items that you want to restore. The Search wizard
is available after the full catalog job is complete.
Lab 03-14

Schedule a full catalog Select this option to run the full catalog operation
operation as a separate as a separate, scheduled job. Then select the start
job after the backup time and the days of the week on which you want

recent backup set since the last catalog operation
can be used for granular recovery.
