EMC Dell NetWorker Deploy v2 Exam D-NWR-DY-01 Exam Dumps: Updated Questions & Answers (October 2025)

For NetWorker deployments in public clouds that need to write backups to object-storage targets (AWS S3, Azure Blob, etc.), you must deploy the CloudBoost virtual appliance. CloudBoost is the data-protection-optimized enabler that handles client‑side deduplication, compression, and encryption and then writes the deduplicated data into the cloud object store, while only metadata is retained locally on the appliance.

In the Simulator, do the following:

1. In the left‑hand menu clickProtection, then expandVMware Protectionand selectVMware Servers.

2. ClickAddand fill in your vCenter details:

vCenter Server Hostname:vcenter.dell.local

Username:Administrator@vsphere.local

Password:Password@123

3. ClickSave.

4. Still underVMware Protection, selectVirtual Proxies, clickAdd, and enter your vProxy details:

Proxy Hostname:(the FQDN or IP of your vProxy appliance)

Admin Password:password123

5. ClickSave.

Client Direct enables NetWorker clients to send deduplicated, compressed, and encrypted backup data directly to the cloud target (via CloudBoost or DDVE) without routing through a storage node. This optimizes performance and reduces bandwidth and storage requirements, making it ideal for cloud backups.

In the NetWorker Authentication Service, both user names and group names are limited to a maximum of 64 characters. This constraint ensures compatibility and proper functioning within the NetWorker environment. It's important to adhere to this limit when creating or managing user and group entries to avoid potential issues.

The vProxy appliance requires the vCenter server to use its default HTTPS port; it does not support a non‑default vCenter HTTPS port. Therefore port 443 is the only port that cannot be changed for VMware Protection with vProxy.

Deduplication, encryption, and compression before transfer to the cloud

CloudBoost performs inline deduplication, compression and AES‑256 encryption on the client side (or in‑appliance) so that only minimal, secure data is sent to the cloud object store.

Low‑cost cloud object storage for all backup copies

All backup copies - both short‑term and long‑term - are written to inexpensive, deduplicated cloud object storage (e.g. AWS S3, Azure Blob, ECS), driving down retention costs.

No on‑premises infrastructure required

You can deploy CloudBoost as a virtual appliance directly in public clouds (AWS, Azure, VMware), so no dedicated on‑prem hardware is needed to replicate backups into cloud services.

In the Simulator, follow these steps:

1. In the left‑hand navigation clickDevices and Media→Cloud Tier Devices.

2. ClickAdd Cloud Tier Device(the “+” button).

3. In theAdd Cloud Tier Devicedialog, enter:

PowerProtect DD Host Name:ddve.dellemc.edu

DD Boost Username:ddboost_user

DD Boost Password:Student1!

Management Username:ddboost_user

Management Password:Student1!

Device Folder Name:DDCloudTier

Clone Pool:selectCloudtier_clone

Cloud Unit Name:NWRCloud

4. ClickSave.

In a NetWorker environment integrated with LDAP/AD, users must authenticate against the NetWorker Authentication Service to execute commands with appropriate privileges. Thensrlogincommand isused to authenticate the user with the Authentication Server, establishing the required session context. This resolves privilege-related failures when running NetWorker commands.

When you run the NetWorker Installation Manager on an NVE appliance, after the software package is initialized the Installation Setup page appears – this is where you check (or uncheck) the Storage Node only option to configure NVE as a dedicated storage node.

In current NetWorker versions (9.1 and later), the default Target Sessions setting for a CloudBoost device is 10. This value helps balance load when multiple backup streams are directed to the CloudBoost appliance without imposing a hard cap (that’s what the Max Sessions setting is for).
