What is the minimum VMware Data Protection solution and sizing that would fulfill the stated requirements?
A. VMware Data Protection Advanced with a 4TB backup appliance
B. VMware Data Protection with a 4TB backup appliance
C. VMware Data Protection Advanced with a 3TB backup appliance
D. VMware Data Protection with a 3TB backup appliance
Correct Answer: A
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
In this question, we need to backup 3TB of data.
VMware Data Protection (VDP) only supports up to 2TB of data so we need to use VMware Data Protection Advanced (VDPA).
VDPA supports up to 8TB of data in 2TB increments, ie. 2TB, 4TB, 6TB or 8TB.
Therefore, to backup 3TB of data, we need to use VDPA with 4TB capacity.
Incorrect Answers:
B: VMware Data Protection (VDP) only supports up to 2TB of data. Therefore, this answer is incorrect.
C: You cannot have 3TB of storage with VDPA. VDPA supports up to 8TB of data in 2TB increments, ie. 2TB, 4TB, 6TB or 8TB. Therefore, this answer is incorrect.
D: VMware Data Protection (VDP) only supports up to 2TB of data. Therefore, this answer is incorrect.
