Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C, E

To design a solution that meets the NAS environment requirements for Veeam University Hospital, you need to collect some information during the discovery phase. This information will help you to understand the characteristics and performance of the NAS systems, the size and type of the data, and the backup and recovery objectives.

According to the Veeam Backup & Replication Best Practice Guide, some of the information that you should collect from the customer about the data stored on the NAS per site are:

* Total number of files (in millions) to be backed up. This information will help you to estimate the backup storage requirements, as well as the backup performance and scalability, based on the number and distribution of files.

* Largest file size. This information will help you to determine the optimal backup block size and alignment, as well as the backup compression and deduplication ratios, based on the size and type of files.

Wait, why would we need the largest file size? Seems irrelevant.

I think the amount of source data after dedupe is crucial too.

I’m a bit confused about the SMB protocol part. Is it really necessary to know which version the NAS supports for this specific question?

I remember a similar question where we had to consider file sizes. The largest file size might be relevant for performance planning, right?

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like the amount of source data before dedupe and compression could be important too. It might help with sizing.

I think we should definitely ask about the total number of files. It seems crucial for understanding the scale of the backup.

I’m not entirely confident, but I think the amount of source data after dedupe might be less important than the total number of files.

I remember a practice question about file sizes, so maybe we should also consider the largest file size as a metric.

I think we should definitely ask about the total number of files, since that impacts backup strategies.
