NetWorker does not support recovery from aborted save sets, so the administrator should inform the customer that the data backed up before the backup was stopped cannot be recovered.

The Dell EMC Cloud Tier feature allows customers to offload data from a PowerProtect DDVE to a cloud storage provider such as AWS S3. This feature provides a cost-effective way to store data in the cloud and helps to reduce storage costs associated with on-premises storage.

The data movement policy on Dell EMC Cloud Tier is configured to move the save sets to the Cloud only once a month. The cloning of the save sets may have run successfully, but the data movement will still only occur once a month.

Staging is used to make and keep a second copy of data at all times. This process is used to ensure data redundancy and provide additional protection against data loss or corruption.

The NMC (NetWorker Management Console) is a web-based graphical user interface that enables administrators to manage NetWorker and its components. If the NMC is not installed, the error message "Unable to connect the NMC server" will be displayed. The recommended action to resolve the issue is to rerun the installation and enable the NMC option.

Before an action resource can be created in NetWorker, a protection group must exist. Protection groups allow you to group related objects together, making it easier to manage and run backups.

The "always" application-specific module should be specified when configuring backups on a client that requires the use of a directive, as this will ensure that certain files are included in the backup regardless of the backup level.

To configure PSS for a client to have 3 PSS for save set '/data1' and 5 PSS for save set '/data2', the administrator can use the following command:

PSS:streams_per_ss=3,/data1, 5,/data2

This command sets the number of parallel save streams (PSS) for each save set. The option "streams_per_ss" is used to specify the number of parallel save streams for each save set, and the path of the save set is specified after a comma. In this case, 3 PSS are set for the save set '/data1' and 5 PSS are set for the save set '/data2'.

To troubleshoot why a customer cannot see any files backed up when a restore operation is attempted on their 3 new Linux server named Server01, the first step should be to check the log files for any error messages. The log files are typically located in the /var/log/ directory, but the exact location may vary depending on the operating system being used.

Next, the administrator should check the configuration of the NetWorker server to ensure that the server is configured correctly. This includes checking the client configuration for the Server01 and making sure that the correct client name is being used. Additionally, the administrator should make sure that the Server01 has the correct address and port information, as well as the correct credentials.

The administrator should also check the configuration of the server to make sure that the correct backup policies are being used and that the backup schedule is configured correctly. Additionally, they should check the configuration of the actual backup device, such as the tape library or disk array, to make sure that it is configured properly.

Finally, the administrator should check the filesystem of the Server01 to make sure that the backup files are actually being written to the correct location.
