Which factor is most directly influenced by the choice of backup topology?

The number of users allowed to initiate backups

The impact of backup traffic on the production network

The type of backup media (tape vs. disk)

The color scheme of the backup software interface

A company has a SAN and wants to implement a backup topology that reduces LAN traffic but does not require additional hardware beyond what is already available. The backup server is already connected to the SAN, and the tape library is also SAN-attached. Which topology should they choose?

Server-free backup: use the backup server to orchestrate but have a data mover do the copying.

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

SAN-based backup: the backup server reads data from the SAN and writes to the SAN-attached tape library.

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

What is a typical use case for a direct-attached backup topology?

Backing up hundreds of servers centrally from a backup server

Offloading backup traffic from the LAN to a dedicated SAN

Backing up a single server with a locally attached tape drive

Enabling server-free backups using a data mover

What is the role of a data mover in a server-free backup topology?

It stores the backup data permanently

It provides the user interface for backup administrators

It handles the transfer of backup data between storage devices
