To be able to increase backup retention, the company has bought a Data Domain deduplication appliance.
After setting up the jobs to use it, the backup administrator observes an increase of resource consumption on the backup server. The proxy configuration has not been modified.
What is causing the issue?

When integrating a Data Domain deduplication appliance with Veeam Backup & Replication, it is typically used as a backup repository. The backup server may need to take on the gateway role, especially if the Data Domain is integrated over NFS or CIFS. This means that the backup server will be responsible for processing the data flow between the Veeam proxies and the deduplication appliance. If the gateway server (backup server) is not well-resourced, this additional workload can cause an increase in resource consumption on the backup server. The appliance's resources and the SSL certificate are not related to increased resource consumption on the backup server, and simply needing additional resources for deduplication (D) is not specific enough without indicating the gateway role.

I thought deduplication would reduce resource use, not increase it!

The appliance might be struggling with the data load, so A could be a factor too.

Wait, could it really be the SSL certificate? That seems off.

Sounds like the backup server needs more resources.

Updating the SSL certificate seems unrelated to resource consumption, but I can't shake the feeling that the backup server's role might be affecting performance.

I feel like I've seen a similar question before, and it was about the backup appliance not being able to handle the load. So, maybe option A?

I'm not entirely sure, but I think if the proxy configuration hasn't changed, it could be related to the backup server needing more resources.

I remember reading that deduplication can sometimes require more resources on the backup server, so option D might be the right choice.

The SSL certificate on the backup appliance needing an update seems like an odd potential cause for this issue. I don't think that's the right answer here. I'm leaning towards option A or D, but I'll double-check the details to make sure I'm not missing anything.

Okay, I think I've got this. The issue is likely that the backup appliance doesn't have enough resources to handle the increased data processing. That would explain the rise in resource consumption on the backup server. I'm going to go with option A.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused here. The question mentions the proxy configuration hasn't been modified, so I'm not sure why the backup server would need additional resources just for using a deduplication appliance. I'll have to re-read this a few times to make sure I understand it properly.

This seems like a straightforward question about resource consumption on the backup server. I'll need to carefully consider the options and think through the potential causes.

I'm feeling a little confused by this question. The wording is a bit tricky. I'm going to review my notes on broker balances and see if that helps me figure out the right answer.
