IBM Storage Protect Deployment Professional practice examsIn development
IBM Certified Deployment Professional - Storage Protect
Backup on the platform formerly known as Tivoli Storage Manager, still guarding large European estates: the server database that alone makes stored data identifiable, container pools deduplicating inline against legacy pools that must reclaim, nodes owning their data, and the policy hierarchy where only an activated set applies; then progressive incremental backup with no weekly full, schedules that fail silently when a client scheduler stops, restore against retrieve, node replication and protect stgpool, and the maintenance order that expiration must lead.
What you get
Papers are cut from the bank and weighted like the real exam, and no question appears in two of them. Every wrong answer comes back on later days until you have it right.
What the exam covers
| Architecture, storage pools and policy | Not published |
| Operations, recovery, replication and maintenance | Not published |
Two sample questions
1. What does the offsite volume state indicate in disaster recovery manager?
- A copy pool volume that has been sent to a remote location for protection — correct
- A primary pool volume that has been marked damaged and awaits repair
- A scratch volume that the library has not yet assigned to any storage pool
- A database backup volume that is being held for the current backup series
Why: The state tracks where each protective copy physically is, which is what allows the correct volumes to be recalled when a recovery is required.
2. What is the difference between backup and archive copy groups?
- Backup versions vs archive retention — correct
- Both keep an identical number of versions
- Archive keeps versions, backup keeps by time
- Neither controls how long data is kept
Why: A backup copy group manages versions of changing files, while an archive copy group retains a point-in-time copy for a period.
