If backups are failing when using a dynamic interface group, one of the likely causes is that DD Boost is disabled. Since DD Boost is essential for optimized data transfer during backups, its disabled status would lead to backup failures even if other configurations appear correct.

If you need to verify this in the simulator:

Go to the Protocols section.

Check the status of DD Boost.

Ensure that DD Boost is enabled to allow backups to proceed successfully.

Explanation: Best practice for Fibre Channel zoning with PowerProtect DD is to use single-initiator single-target zoning, which enhances security and stability in data transfer by isolating connections between devices, minimizing potential interference.

Explanation: A small TCP window size can restrict data throughput, leading to suboptimal performance in CIFS-based file transfers. Adjusting the TCP window size can help maximize network bandwidth utilization and improve transfer speeds.
