BRS TA E20-329 Exam

Hello –

It does sound like you are having difficulty with the E20-329 exam.

Did you take the practice exam prior to your first attempt?  Did it identify any areas in which you should focus further studying?

After taking the exams, did your score report reflect any particular areas where you are scoring more than 50% incorrect?  That may help to guide you in the right direction for further studying.

Once you identify the area you need to study please e-mail the help desk at EdServices@emc.com if you need help identifying where that particular area of study is covered in our recommended training materials.  We’d be happy to review your score report with you and identify areas of the course work that may help in preparation for the exam on Thursday.

Kind regards,
Debi

Hello mmalyon,

I feel your pain.  I'm using the same vilt and have not passed on my first two attempts. 

It's been 2 months since my last attempt and I'm still trying to get the courage to take the exam again. I've used or listened to darn near everything I could get my eyes on on EMC's site.

Good luck on your quest!

Matt

I’m sorry to hear you are having trouble with the exam!  The EMC Backup and Recovery Solutions Design video ILT you are using is the training built to support the TA Backup Recovery Solutions Design (E20-329) exam.  The other e-learning course you referenced, Backup and Recovery Solutions Design, is built to support the TA Solutions Design (E20-322) exam.  While you may find some information in that course is related, the video ILT you are already using is the recommended training.

Additionally, if you have any specific questions regarding course content, feel free to post those in the Student Discussions portion of this community.  Good luck!

Hi,

I passed the E20-329 exam just before the course changed in March. The learning materials (PDFs) that are part of the VILTs are the best source of information. I can hardly remember a question on the exam which was not discussed in the material. I focused mainly on the reading material rathing than watching the whole videos. Wasn't sure if I would pass when I was clicking the end exam button but got enough to clear it on my first attempt.

Word of advice to everyone attempting this exam; It definitely is a tough one but just read the PDFs 2-3 times (yes thats a lot of reading) before attempting the exam.

Thanks,

Jamal

I hope to attempt the exam at EMC World as there is a discounted rate.

I came from a shop that deployed Avamar and I have quite a bit of DD experience with TSM.

From the materials I have viewed the exam seems to focus on quite a bit of material.

Hoping for the best!

Good luck, with the exam!

Hey Congratulations Mohammad !

Can you please tell me how can we prepare for this exam ? I have to give this E20-329 exam at the month end and I am studying material from VILTs. Is there any other material we have to refer? Can you please let me know how many questions asked into exam and what is passing percentage?

Can anyone explain how the answer 6 derived for the below question? I am looking for formula and no where it is explained.

.  A potential EMC Avamar customer with 1200 clients has a requirement to complete all their backups within four hours. Each backup is expected to take an average of 20 minutes.

Also for the question

A customer is using EMC NetWorker Network Edition with two storage nodes to backup 200 servers in their data center. Every 20 servers are gathered in a backup group and each server has a parallelism of 4.

One day, the customer's storage administrator has added another 96 servers and distributes them equally on the existing backup groups. The administrator is concerned that four servers in each group have remained in a “waiting to run” state. This has caused the backup window to increase to a high level.

What is the total number of backup devices that can be created after resolving the issue?

How answer 64 is calculated?

Hi All,

Can any one suggest which points are to be taken care while preparing for the Exam as it's a bit difficult exam.

I've already cleared e20-591 and need to know about e20-329.

Thanks !!!!!!!!!!

Hi,

This exam realy not simple like mostly others. It's not enough to have basic knowledge and only listening the course.

To prepare  you need to read student guide 2-3-4 times and during reading write mostly numbers and formulas in workbook. Also you need to pass with 100% practice test from education.emc.com with knowing why each answer is right. And after that and remembering numbers and formulas you will pass. For me it's taked about 2 weeks.

Best Regards,

Konstantin.
