   A large enterprise is deploying Avamar to protect 5,000 clients. The backup administrator is concerned about the performance of the Avamar server during the initial full backup, as the server will be processing a large amount of unique data. The administrator wants to ensure that the backup window is met without overloading the server. What should the administrator do?

   • ASchedule all clients to start their initial full backup at the same time to finish faster.
   • BUse a single Avamar server node with a large amount of RAM to handle the load.
   • CDisable client-side deduplication to reduce the CPU load on the clients.
   • DIncrease the number of Avamar server nodes in the grid to distribute the load.
