D-NWR-DY-01 Dell NetWorker Deploy v2 Exam Question and Answers

When you pair NetWorker Virtual Edition (NVE) with PowerProtect DD Virtual Edition (DDVE), you can deploy and protect workloads across all three cloud models:

● Public clouds (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud)

● Private clouds (on‑premises VMware ESXi, Hyper‑V, KVM environments)

● Hybrid clouds (seamlessly spanning on‑premises and public cloud infrastructures)

The “Optimized for Performance” backup optimization mode is only supported on Data Domain systems running DDOS 6.0.0.30 (or later) - and if you’re on the 5.7 release train, you must be at least at DDOS 5.7.1. Attempting to enable Performance mode on a DD appliance at plain DDOS 5.7.0 will cause the configuration to fail (or fall back to Capacity mode) with a warning in the logs.

To enable an external NMC server to manage other NetWorker servers, thensrauthtrustcommand must be executed on each additional NetWorker server that the NMC needs to manage. This establishes trust between the NetWorker server and the external NMC, allowing for secure communication and management capabilities.

To recover a virtual machine from a save set stored on Dell Cloud Tier, the save set must first be manually staged (mounted) back to a DD Boost device. Cloud Tier data cannot be accessed directly for recovery; it must be recalled to a local DD Boost device to complete the operation.

For NetWorker deployments in public clouds that need to write backups to object-storage targets (AWS S3, Azure Blob, etc.), you must deploy the CloudBoost virtual appliance. CloudBoost is the data-protection-optimized enabler that handles client‑side deduplication, compression, and encryption and then writes the deduplicated data into the cloud object store, while only metadata is retained locally on the appliance.

Dell Cloud Tier supports long-term retention by tiering deduplicated backup data from PowerProtect DD systems to various cloud object storage platforms. The supported platforms for this purpose include:

● Amazon Web Services (AWS)

● Dell Elastic Cloud Storage (ECS)

● Microsoft Azure​

These platforms are officially supported for seamless integration with Dell Cloud Tier, enabling efficient and secure long-term data retention.

In the Simulator, do the following:

1. In the left‑hand menu clickProtection, then expandVMware Protectionand selectVMware Servers.

2. ClickAddand fill in your vCenter details:

vCenter Server Hostname:vcenter.dell.local

Username:Administrator@vsphere.local

Password:Password@123

3. ClickSave.

4. Still underVMware Protection, selectVirtual Proxies, clickAdd, and enter your vProxy details:

Proxy Hostname:(the FQDN or IP of your vProxy appliance)

Admin Password:password123

5. ClickSave.

Deduplication, encryption, and compression before transfer to the cloud

CloudBoost performs inline deduplication, compression and AES‑256 encryption on the client side (or in‑appliance) so that only minimal, secure data is sent to the cloud object store.

Low‑cost cloud object storage for all backup copies

All backup copies - both short‑term and long‑term - are written to inexpensive, deduplicated cloud object storage (e.g. AWS S3, Azure Blob, ECS), driving down retention costs.

No on‑premises infrastructure required

You can deploy CloudBoost as a virtual appliance directly in public clouds (AWS, Azure, VMware), so no dedicated on‑prem hardware is needed to replicate backups into cloud services.
