A company has a service level agreement (SLA) that requires a restore time objective (RTO) of 4 hours for a critical application. The backup administrator is testing the restore process and finds that a full restore takes 6 hours. The backup storage is a deduplication appliance, and the backup job uses compression. What should the administrator do to meet the RTO?

Increase the frequency of full backups to reduce the amount of data that needs to be restored.

Use a different restore method, such as instant recovery or virtual machine boot from backup, to bring the application online faster.

Perform a test restore more frequently to ensure the process is optimized.

Disable compression on the backup job to speed up the restore process.

A data protection team is seeing performance degradation on their backup storage array. The array is 70% full, and the backup application reports that deduplication ratios have dropped significantly. The team needs to improve storage efficiency and performance. What should they do first?

Add more storage capacity to the array to reduce the capacity utilization.

Run a storage reclamation or compaction process to consolidate free space and improve deduplication efficiency.

Disable deduplication to reduce the processing overhead on the array.

Increase the backup retention period to keep more data on the array.

A data protection team notices that backup jobs are taking longer than usual, and the storage repository is nearing capacity. The monitoring system shows high latency on the backup storage. The team needs to identify the cause and prevent future occurrences. What should they do first?

Immediately add more storage capacity to the repository.

Review the monitoring data to correlate the increase in latency with any changes in backup schedules or storage usage.

Reduce the number of backup jobs by consolidating them into fewer, larger jobs.

Restart the backup server to clear any temporary issues.

What is the primary purpose of monitoring and alerting in a data protection environment?

To replace the need for regular backups

To automatically restore data without human intervention

To detect issues and ensure the health and performance of backup operations

To increase the storage capacity of the backup environment

What is the purpose of access control in a data protection environment?

To eliminate the need for encryption

To allow all users to modify backup configurations

To ensure only authorized users can access backup data and perform operations

To increase the speed of backup jobs
