   A company has a backup solution that performs deduplication at the target. They need to restore a single file from a backup that is 6 months old. The restore is taking a long time. What is the most likely reason?

   • AThe deduplication index has grown large, slowing down the lookup process.
   • BThe restore process is not using the deduplication appliance's cache.
   • CThe backup software is not compatible with the deduplication target.
   • DThe backup data is stored on tape, which is inherently slow.
