Cohesity Updated COH-285 Exam Questions and Answers by selina

The correct action is to resume the job from Activity Monitor. Cohesity NetBackup documentation states that Activity Monitor provides a Resume action for jobs that are suspended or in an Incomplete state; the documented procedure is to open Activity Monitor > Jobs, select the incomplete job, and choose Actions > Resume Job. This is the supported way to make the same incomplete backup continue before the next scheduled backup starts. It is especially important in a multiple data streams policy, where each stream appears as an individual job and the failed stream should be resumed rather than replaced by a new manual backup. The Move backup job from incomplete state to done state property only controls how long a failed backup can remain incomplete before Activity Monitor shows it as Done; reducing that value would shorten the recovery window, not rerun the backup. Cohesity also notes that a resumed job reuses the same job ID, whereas a restarted job receives a new job ID. Running a manual client or mount-point backup would create a separate backup operation and would not verify completion of the existing incomplete job.

The default summary interval is 24 hours. In NetBackup Appliance AutoSupport/Call Home behavior, when Call Home is enabled and a monitored hardware or software failure occurs, the appliance uploads diagnostic and monitoring information to the AutoSupport server and also generates email notifications to the configured recipient list. The official Appliance AutoSupport Reference Guide describes three email notification types: an initial error notification when the failure is detected, a resolved notification when the failure clears, and “a 24-hour summary by email” for unresolved errors. The NetBackup Appliance Security Guide states the same operational sequence: the appliance sends an error email, a resolved email, and a 24-hour summary of currently unresolved errors. Therefore, 15 minutes, 1 hour, and 12 hours are not the documented default intervals for unresolved-error summary notification. Those values may resemble polling or alerting intervals in other monitoring systems, but NetBackup Appliance Call Home uses the daily summary model to reduce repeated notifications while keeping administrators informed of unresolved conditions. Reference topics: Appliance AutoSupport Reference Guide – About Call Home, Settings > Notification > Alert Configuration, and NetBackup Appliance Security Guide – Call Home alert behavior.
