Dell Technologies D-DP-DS-01 Sample Questions:

01. A wholesale grocer's technical goal is that every backup has a complete offsite copy within four hours of that backup finishing. The PowerProtect Data Manager design backs up every four hours to a primary PowerProtect DD and replicates each copy with MTree replication across a 100 Mbps WAN to a second PowerProtect DD. Each backup is about 6 TB of logical data, of which roughly 2% is new to the second system. The customer's network manager doubts that a 100 Mbps link can carry 6 TB every four hours.

Which response defends the design against this goal?

a) The goal is met once the primary backup completes, so WAN transfer time does not count toward it

b) Replication sends the full 6 TB each time, but compression shrinks it enough to fit within four hours

c) Replication batches the four-hourly copies and sends them once a day

d) Only about 120 GB of new segments is sent, which the link moves in under three hours

02. A draft proposal for a law firm states: "DD Boost reduces the protection storage you must buy, because it deduplicates on the client." The firm has two goals: a financial one, buying less backup storage, and a technical one, shortening backups over a congested LAN. The reviewing architect must correct the proposal before it reaches the managing partner.

How should the link between the design and the two goals be stated?

a) Credit both the saving and the shorter backups to Cloud Tier tiering aged copies

b) Keep the statement, because deduplicating on the client stores fewer unique segments than deduplicating on PowerProtect DD itself

c) Credit the saving to PowerProtect DD deduplication and the shorter backups to DD Boost sending unique data

d) Credit the saving to Retention Lock expiring copies and the shorter backups to DD Boost

03. A medical billing firm has set these operational goals for a new PowerProtect Data Manager design:

cut the hours operators spend on backup administration each week
let the help desk complete routine file restores without escalating to the backup team
replace the three consoles operators use today with one

A 60-day pilot is complete, and the operations manager wants evidence before approving rollout. Which three pilot measurements demonstrate these operational goals? (Choose three.)

a) Replication lag between the primary and secondary PowerProtect DD systems

b) Weekly operator hours on backup tasks, recorded before and during the pilot

c) Number of management consoles operators used for daily backup work

d) Share of file restore tickets the help desk closed without escalation

e) Data reduction ratio achieved for the pilot backups on PowerProtect DD

04. A credit union has set technical goals of a four-hour RPO and a two-hour RTO for 40 SQL Server databases, the largest of which is 3 TB. The design protects them with PowerProtect Data Manager and the Microsoft application agent, writing to PowerProtect DD. The IT director wants pilot evidence that both goals are met. Which two measurements provide that evidence? (Choose two.)

a) The data reduction ratio achieved for the database backups on PowerProtect DD

b) The number of databases PowerProtect Data Manager discovered on the SQL Server hosts

c) The capacity consumed on PowerProtect DD after the first month of backups

d) A timed restore of the 3 TB database that finishes in under two hours

e) The age of the newest recoverable copy of each database, never above four hours in a week of monitoring

05. A pension fund's regulator sets three requirements for backup data:

Records must be non-erasable for ten years, with no administrator able to shorten the period

A copy must be held at a second site
Stored backup data must be encrypted

Which three design elements, taken together, demonstrate that the requirements are met? (Choose three.)

a) Retention Lock Compliance on the MTree holding the records

b) Encryption of data at rest on the PowerProtect DD systems

c) MTree replication to a PowerProtect DD system at the second site

d) DD Boost distributed segment processing on the backup hosts

e) PowerProtect DD Management Center monitoring both systems

06. A media company's vision is to consolidate three aging backup targets onto one PowerProtect DD system to simplify operations. During the design review, its infrastructure director objects: “Putting every backup on one system creates a single point of failure for all of our recoveries.”

Which design element best answers this objection?

a) MTree replication to a second PowerProtect DD system at another site, so a full copy survives

b) Cloud Tier on the consolidated system, so the most recent backups are kept in cloud object storage instead

c) PowerProtect DD Management Center, so each system's data is mirrored to the management server

d) DD Boost distributed segment processing, so backup data is spread across the client hosts

07. During a goals workshop, the IT manager of a law firm with a two-person IT team states: "Whatever we buy, the two of us must be able to run backups and restores for all three offices without anyone working overnight."

Which BTOF category does this goal belong to?

a) Technical, because it sets how many offices the backup software must reach

b) Business, because it protects the firm's ability to serve its clients

c) Financial, because it caps the staff cost of the solution

d) Operational, because it limits how the team runs the solution

08. An architect is calculating the three-year TCO of a PowerProtect DD appliance for a mid-sized insurer. The customer supplies these figures:

Purchase price: $120,000
Support: $18,000 a year
Power, cooling and rack space: $6,000 a year
Administrator time: $10,000 a year

What three-year TCO should the design present?

a) $204,000, leaving out power, cooling and rack space

b) $174,000, from purchase and support only

c) $222,000, counting every listed cost

d) $192,000, leaving out administrator time

09. An architect must compare two quotes for a five-year protection plan at an engineering firm:

Plan 1: a PowerProtect DD purchased for $150,000, plus support at $20,000 a year starting in year one
Plan 2: cloud-hosted protection storage on subscription at $4,000 a month

The finance director wants the result stated over the full five-year plan.

Which statement should the comparison present?

a) Plan 2 costs $10,000 less over five years, at $240,000 against $250,000

b) Plan 1 costs $90,000 less, at $150,000 against $240,000

c) Plan 1 costs $10,000 less over five years, with year-one support in the purchase

d) Plan 2 costs $122,000 less, comparing the first year of each option

10. Two storage administrators at a county government each spend 10 hours a week loading, labeling and shipping backup tapes, at a loaded labor cost of $50 an hour. The proposed PowerProtect DD design eliminates tape handling but needs about 2 hours a week of monitoring in total, done by one administrator.

Assuming 52 weeks a year, what annual staff-time saving should the comparison present?

a) $41,600, from 16 hours saved after 2 hours each

b) $52,000, from the 20 tape-handling hours each week

c) $46,800, from 18 hours saved each week across both administrators

d) $5,200, from the 2 weekly monitoring hours
