An administrator has a job that has failed. See the contents of the Job's Detailed Status tab from the NetBackup Activity Monitor provided below:

What may be the cause for the failure?

A. The version of NetBackup installed on the master server and media server is higher than the version installed on the client.

B. The media server is unable to resolve the hostname of the client to any IP address.

C. The required NetBackup processes need to be started on the client.

D. The media server failed to perform a reverse name lookup of the IP address associated with the client.

A NetBackup policy is configured to back up the following paths for a client: D:\stage E:\data E:\home F:\production Multistreaming is enabled for the backups, and multiplexing is set to 4. Backup streams are running slowly. Which step should the administrator consider to improve backup performance?

A. increase the multiplexing level

B. back up only one stream from each physical device on the client

C. disable multistreaming

D. increase the number of data buffers

Refer to the exhibit.

Two media servers, sharing a library with 10 tape drives, exist in the NetBackup 8.0environment displayed in the exhibit. Both weekly full and daily differential incremental backups need to run for the clients and each schedule has a different retention period. Because of network topology, some clients back up to Media Server 1 and some back up to Media Server 2. The environment suffers from multiple status 96 failures during the backup window.

How can the administrator minimize the number of failures?

A. increase the Media unmount delay

B. configure media multiplexing

C. enable backups to span tape media

D. enable media sharing

How can an administrator copy an existing backup image of client1.example.com from an Advanced Disk storage unit to a Media Server Deduplication Pool (MSDP)?

A NetBackup Master Server has commenced writing four long-running duplication jobs on an AdvancedDisk disk pool. The value of Maximum concurrent jobs for the storage unit and Limit I/O streams for the disk pool are both set to 4.

There are 35 jobs queued on the Master Server that require this disk pool: 5 replication jobs with priority 9999 10 backup jobs with priority 999 20 duplication jobs with priority 99

Two restore jobs that require this disk pool are then submitted with default priority. Which job type goes active next?

A. Backup
