A company has a SAN with multiple database servers. The backup administrator wants to minimize the impact of backups on the LAN and on the database servers. The backup software supports a data mover that can access the SAN. The company has a limited budget for new hardware. Which topology is the most appropriate?

Direct-attached backup: attach a tape drive to each database server.

SAN-based backup: use the backup server to manage backups over the SAN.

Server-free backup: use the data mover to copy data directly from the SAN to a SAN-attached tape library.

LAN-free backup: have the backup server read data from the SAN and write to a SAN-attached tape library.

In a SAN-based backup topology, what type of network is used for backup data transfer?

A dedicated high-speed storage network

The same LAN used for production traffic

A company is comparing backup topologies for a new environment. They have a limited budget but a fast and underutilized LAN. They have a single backup server and a tape library. Which topology is the most cost-effective and simplest to implement?

Server-free backup: deploy data movers to offload servers.

LAN-based backup: install agents on all servers and send backup data over the LAN to the backup server.

SAN-based backup: connect the tape library to a SAN and have the backup server write over the SAN.

LAN-free backup: use a SAN to move data from servers to the tape library.

In a direct-attached backup topology, where is the backup storage typically connected?

To a network-attached storage device accessible via the LAN

Directly to the server being backed up

To a cloud storage service over the internet

To a centralized storage area network

What does 'LAN-free' backup topology primarily achieve?

It performs backups without any server involvement

It removes the need for backup storage

It uses only wireless networks for backup

It eliminates backup traffic from the LAN by using direct SAN connections
