Topic #: 3

[All D-PDD-DY-23 Questions]

When can you consider using Virtual Synthetic Backups with a PowerProtect DD appliance?

AIf the PowerProtect DD appliance has more than 10 disks

BIf data restores are frequent

CIf the PowerProtect DD appliance uses more than 80% of its physical capacity

DIf incremental backups are less than 20% of a full backup

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

Virtual Synthetic Backups are an efficient method for consolidating full and incremental backups without moving large amounts of data. This method is particularly useful when restores are frequent because it reduces the time and resources required to create new full backups. Instead, it synthesizes a full backup from previous full and incremental backups, making the restore process faster and more efficient. This helps to optimize performance and minimize the strain on the backup system during frequent restores.

I feel like we practiced a similar question, and it mentioned something about incremental backups. Could D be relevant here?

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about physical capacity being a factor. Could it be option C?

I think we discussed that Virtual Synthetic Backups are beneficial when data restores are frequent, so maybe option B is the right choice?
