A company has a storage area network (SAN) connecting its database servers to a disk array. The backup server is also connected to the SAN. The backup software runs on the backup server and reads data from the database servers' LUNs and writes to a tape library attached to the SAN. What is the primary benefit of this topology compared to a LAN-based backup?

The backup server does not need to process the data, reducing CPU load.

The backup window is eliminated because backups run continuously.

Backup traffic does not traverse the LAN, reducing network congestion.

The database servers are not involved in the backup process.

How does server-free backup topology minimize server involvement?

By compressing data before it leaves the server

By using a faster CPU in the server

By using a data mover to transfer data directly between storage devices

By performing backups only during off-peak hours

In a LAN-based backup topology, how does backup data travel from the source to the backup storage?

Over a dedicated storage area network

Through a direct SCSI connection

What is the primary benefit of using a SAN-based backup topology?

It eliminates the need for backup software

It reduces the cost of backup storage

It allows backups to be performed without any network connection

It reduces the load on the production LAN

Which component is essential for a LAN-free backup topology?

A high-speed internet connection

A dedicated backup server on the LAN
