Question 1CommCell Architecture and Core Components

In a CommCell, which server role is responsible for storing the metadata repository that tracks jobs, clients, and policies?

  1. The Access Node
  2. The MediaAgent
  3. The CommServe server Correct answer.
  4. The Indexing Server

Explanation

The CommServe server hosts the CommCell database, the central metadata repository that records configuration such as clients, storage policies, subclients, and job history. MediaAgents move data but do not own the central catalog, and Access Nodes only relay traffic for specific features.

Question 2CommCell Architecture and Core Components

A MediaAgent is installed on a host that has direct SAN connectivity to a tape library. Which CommCell concept describes the combination of that MediaAgent and its configured library and drive paths?

  1. A data path
  2. A subclient
  3. A library and drive pool association Correct answer.
  4. A storage policy copy

Explanation

A library is registered in the CommCell and its drives and mount paths are assigned to MediaAgents, which creates the association that lets that MediaAgent read and write media. Storage policy copies reference these libraries, but the library-to-MediaAgent binding itself is the library and drive configuration.

Question 3CommCell Architecture and Core Components

Which component in the CommCell determines where the first copy of backup data is written according to retention and media rules?

  1. The schedule policy
  2. The alert definition
  3. The client group
  4. The storage policy Correct answer.

Explanation

A storage policy groups one or more copies and defines the default copy, retention, and stream settings that govern where backup data lands. Client groups and schedule policies organize which clients run when, but they do not own the destination rules.

Question 4CommCell Architecture and Core Components

An administrator needs a logical grouping of specific files and folders on a client so that different retention can be applied. Which object should be created?

  1. A new CommCell
  2. A new client
  3. A new subclient Correct answer.
  4. A new storage policy copy

Explanation

Subclients partition the data of a client into units that can have their own content, schedule, and storage policy association, which is how different retention is applied to different data sets. A client represents the whole agent host, so it is too coarse for this purpose.

Question 5CommCell Architecture and Core Components

What is the primary function of a CommCell client group?

  1. To scope administrative operations and schedules to a set of clients Correct answer.
  2. To provide a shared deduplication store for member clients
  3. To replicate the CommServe database to a standby server
  4. To encrypt data at rest on selected clients

Explanation

Client groups let administrators apply operations, schedules, and policies to many clients at once rather than one by one. They are organizational constructs and do not themselves provide storage, encryption, or database replication.

Question 6CommCell Architecture and Core Components

Which CommCell component stores the deduplication signatures that allow a MediaAgent to identify previously backed-up blocks?

  1. The job manager
  2. The deduplication database Correct answer.
  3. The content index
  4. The index cache

Explanation

The deduplication database holds block signatures for a deduplication store and is queried by the MediaAgent during backup to decide whether a block is new. The index cache and content index serve different purposes related to indexing and search.

Question 7CommCell Architecture and Core Components

A CommCell has one CommServe and three MediaAgents. Which statement correctly describes the relationship between these components?

  1. Each MediaAgent requires its own CommServe database instance.
  2. The CommServe coordinates jobs and the MediaAgents move data on its behalf. Correct answer.
  3. MediaAgents can share libraries only if they are in different CommCells.
  4. MediaAgents must be installed on the same host as the CommServe.

Explanation

The CommServe is the control point that schedules and tracks jobs, while MediaAgents execute the data movement to and from storage. A single CommServe can manage many MediaAgents, and they may be distributed across hosts.

Question 8CommCell Architecture and Core Components

Which object must be configured to define the network route a MediaAgent uses to reach a client during a backup?

  1. A firewall topology
  2. A data interface pair Correct answer.
  3. A storage policy copy
  4. A subclient filter

Explanation

Data interface pairs specify which network interfaces on the client and MediaAgent are used for data transfer, allowing traffic to follow a defined route. Firewall topologies describe firewall groupings, and storage policy copies describe destinations.

Question 9CommCell Architecture and Core Components

What is the role of the CommServe's job manager during a backup operation?

  1. It scans file content to build the search index.
  2. It maintains job state and coordinates work across MediaAgents and clients. Correct answer.
  3. It mounts tape media in the library.
  4. It compresses data before it is written to media.

Explanation

The job manager on the CommServe tracks job submission, phases, and status, and coordinates the participating components. Compression, indexing, and media mounting are performed by other components such as MediaAgents and indexing services.

Question 10CommCell Architecture and Core Components

Which statement best explains why a CommCell can have multiple MediaAgents writing to the same deduplication store?

  1. Only the CommServe can query signatures, so MediaAgents never need the database.
  2. Each MediaAgent keeps an independent signature database that is never shared.
  3. Deduplication is disabled when more than one MediaAgent is used.
  4. The deduplication database is shared so signatures are visible across participating MediaAgents. Correct answer.

Explanation

A deduplication store can be served by multiple MediaAgents that reference a shared deduplication database, so a block written by one MediaAgent is recognized by the others. Without that shared signature view, cross-MediaAgent deduplication would not be possible.

Question 11CommCell Architecture and Core Components

An administrator wants a second copy of backup data written to a different library for redundancy. Which configuration achieves this?

  1. Create a second subclient on the same client
  2. Add an auxiliary copy to the storage policy Correct answer.
  3. Change the default data path of the MediaAgent
  4. Add the library to a client group

Explanation

A storage policy can contain multiple copies, and an auxiliary copy operation copies data from one copy to another, for example to a second library for redundancy. Subclients, data paths, and client groups do not create secondary copies of existing backup data.

Question 12CommCell Architecture and Core Components

Which component provides a consolidated view of CommCell events and can trigger notifications based on conditions?

  1. The workflow engine
  2. The index server
  3. The report scheduler
  4. The alert and notification subsystem Correct answer.

Explanation

Alerts are defined against events and conditions, and the notification subsystem delivers messages such as email when those conditions occur. Reporting, workflow, and indexing serve different functions and do not themselves deliver condition-based alerts.

Question 13CommCell Architecture and Core Components

What distinguishes a CommCell from a CommServe?

  1. A CommCell is a single client and a CommServe is a group of clients.
  2. A CommCell is the complete managed environment, and the CommServe is the server that controls it. Correct answer.
  3. A CommCell is a storage library and a CommServe is a MediaAgent.
  4. A CommCell is the database and a CommServe is the client agent.

Explanation

The CommCell is the entire managed domain, including the CommServe, MediaAgents, clients, and storage. The CommServe is the specific server role within that domain that holds the database and coordinates operations.

Question 14CommCell Architecture and Core Components

A client computer hosts the file system agent and also acts as a MediaAgent for a disk library. What is this configuration called?

  1. A standby CommServe
  2. A clustered CommServe
  3. A combined client and MediaAgent installation Correct answer.
  4. A remote cache configuration

Explanation

The software can be installed so that one host runs both a client agent and the MediaAgent role, which is common in smaller environments to reduce server count. This is distinct from clustering, caching, and standby configurations.

Question 15CommCell Architecture and Core Components

Which statement about the CommServe database is accurate?

  1. It is rebuilt automatically from tape each night.
  2. It is stored on each MediaAgent for redundancy.
  3. It contains configuration and job metadata but not the backed-up user data. Correct answer.
  4. It stores the actual backup payload for all clients.

Explanation

The CommServe database holds configuration, policy, and job metadata needed to manage the environment. Backed-up payload data resides on media managed by MediaAgents, not inside the CommServe database.

Question 16CommCell Architecture and Core Components

What is the purpose of a CommCell's storage policy stream count?

  1. It defines how many clients can belong to a client group.
  2. It limits the number of MediaAgents in the CommCell.
  3. It controls the number of alerts generated per job.
  4. It sets the number of simultaneous data streams a subclient can use for a copy. Correct answer.

Explanation

Stream count determines how many parallel data streams are used when writing to a copy, which affects throughput and resource use. It does not govern client group size, MediaAgent count, or alert volume.

Question 17CommCell Architecture and Core Components

Which component would an administrator check first to confirm whether a specific backup job completed and how much data it transferred?

  1. The CommServe job history Correct answer.
  2. The deduplication database
  3. The index cache
  4. The library inventory

Explanation

Job history is maintained by the CommServe and records job status, phases, and statistics such as bytes transferred. The other components hold signatures, cached index data, or media inventory rather than job outcome records.

Question 18CommCell Architecture and Core Components

A MediaAgent must write to a disk library. Which configuration element tells the MediaAgent which mount path to use?

  1. The library mount path configuration Correct answer.
  2. The client group assignment
  3. The alert definition
  4. The subclient content filter

Explanation

Mount paths are defined for a disk library and assigned to MediaAgents, so the MediaAgent knows which file system location to write to. Client groups, alerts, and content filters do not designate storage locations.

Question 19CommCell Architecture and Core Components

Which of the following best describes the function of an Access Node in a CommCell?

  1. It stores the content index for search.
  2. It acts as a proxy to reach data or clients that are not directly accessible. Correct answer.
  3. It hosts the CommServe database.
  4. It performs deduplication signature lookups.

Explanation

An Access Node is a proxy component used to reach clients or network shares that the CommServe or MediaAgent cannot contact directly. Database hosting, deduplication lookups, and content indexing belong to other components.

Question 20CommCell Architecture and Core Components

An administrator is designing a CommCell where backup traffic must not cross a firewall between the client subnet and the MediaAgent subnet. Which configuration should be used?

  1. A firewall topology with a data interface pair on the appropriate interfaces Correct answer.
  2. A second CommServe in the same CommCell
  3. A larger stream count on the storage policy
  4. An auxiliary copy to a third library

Explanation

Firewall topologies group hosts by firewall location, and data interface pairs select the interfaces used for traffic so it stays within the permitted route. Stream counts, auxiliary copies, and additional CommServes do not control network path selection.

Question 21CommCell Architecture and Core Components

Which statement correctly describes how subclients relate to storage policies?

  1. A subclient is associated with a storage policy that determines its destination and retention. Correct answer.
  2. Each storage policy can contain only one subclient.
  3. Subclients are created automatically when a storage policy is created.
  4. A subclient cannot use a storage policy that has more than one copy.

Explanation

A subclient references a storage policy, and that policy supplies the copy, destination, and retention behavior for the subclient's data. Many subclients can use the same policy, and policies may contain multiple copies.

Question 22CommCell Architecture and Core Components

Which component is responsible for performing the actual data transfer between a client and storage media during a backup?

  1. The alert subsystem
  2. The CommServe job manager
  3. The report engine
  4. The MediaAgent Correct answer.

Explanation

The MediaAgent performs data movement, reading from the client and writing to the target storage, and handles related tasks such as compression and deduplication. The CommServe coordinates jobs but does not move the payload itself.

Question 23CommCell Architecture and Core Components

A CommCell administrator wants to protect the CommServe database so the environment can be recovered after a server loss. Which component is most directly relevant?

  1. A client group with all clients
  2. An auxiliary copy of a disk library
  3. A standby CommServe configuration Correct answer.
  4. A subclient content filter

Explanation

CommServe disaster recovery relies on protecting the CommServe database, and a standby CommServe is a configuration used to maintain availability and recoverability of that role. Client groups, auxiliary copies, and content filters do not protect the CommServe database.

Question 24CommCell Architecture and Core Components

What is the purpose of the index cache on a MediaAgent?

  1. To hold recently used index data so indexing operations can be performed efficiently Correct answer.
  2. To cache the CommServe database for offline use
  3. To store deduplication signatures permanently
  4. To store tape barcode information

Explanation

The index cache temporarily holds index data that the MediaAgent uses while indexing jobs run, improving performance. Deduplication signatures live in the deduplication database, and the CommServe database is not cached there.

Question 25CommCell Architecture and Core Components

Which of the following correctly pairs a CommCell component with its primary responsibility?

  1. CommServe - configuration and job coordination Correct answer.
  2. MediaAgent - central job scheduling
  3. Client - storage of deduplication signatures
  4. CommServe - data movement to tape

Explanation

The CommServe is responsible for configuration management and job coordination across the CommCell. Data movement belongs to MediaAgents, and deduplication signatures belong to the deduplication database rather than clients.

Question 26CommCell Architecture and Core Components

In a CommCell, which component is the central management service that runs jobs, stores configuration in its database, and authenticates administrative access?

  1. The Index Cache
  2. The Access Node
  3. The CommServe server Correct answer.
  4. The deduplication store

Explanation

The CommServe is the brain of the CommCell: it hosts the CommServe database, schedules and coordinates jobs, and authenticates users and administrators. Other components such as MediaAgents and clients register with it and receive instructions from it.

Question 27CommCell Architecture and Core Components

What is the primary function of a library in a CommCell storage configuration?

  1. It defines the retention rules applied to backup copies.
  2. It maps clients to the network routes used for data transfer.
  3. It represents a physical or logical storage target, such as a tape library or disk library, that MediaAgents use for reads and writes. Correct answer.
  4. It stores the CommServe database and job history.

Explanation

A library is the CommCell object that models the storage destination, for example a tape library with drives and slots or a disk library with mount paths. MediaAgents write to and read from media within that library. Retention is handled by storage policies and copies, not by the library itself.

Question 28CommCell Architecture and Core Components

An administrator needs a client's backup data to be written to a disk library but wants the MediaAgent to distribute writes across several mount paths on that library. Which configuration should be reviewed?

  1. The disk library's mount path configuration and allocation policy Correct answer.
  2. The CommServe's job history retention
  3. The client's subclient content filters
  4. The client's network route definition

Explanation

A disk library is defined by its mount paths, and the library's allocation policy determines how MediaAgents select among those mount paths when writing. Adding or reordering mount paths and adjusting allocation behavior changes how writes are distributed. Subclient content and network routes do not control mount path selection.

Question 29CommCell Architecture and Core Components

A CommCell uses a deduplicated storage policy. Which statement correctly describes the relationship between the deduplication database (DDB) and the MediaAgent that performs deduplicated backups?

  1. Each client maintains its own DDB, and MediaAgents read from the clients during deduplication.
  2. The DDB resides on storage accessible to the MediaAgent, which uses signatures in it to identify blocks already written. Correct answer.
  3. The DDB is optional and deduplication proceeds by comparing blocks against the CommServe job history.
  4. The DDB is stored only on the CommServe and every MediaAgent queries it over the network for each block.

Explanation

For deduplicated storage, the MediaAgent consults a deduplication database holding block signatures so it can detect data that already exists and store only references to it. The DDB is associated with the deduplication store used by that MediaAgent, not with each individual client.

Question 30CommCell Architecture and Core Components

An administrator is planning a CommCell where backup data from a protected client must travel through a MediaAgent in a different network zone. Which combination of CommCell objects most directly governs how that data path is established?

  1. The client's network topology or gateway settings together with the MediaAgent selected for the storage policy copy Correct answer.
  2. The client's subclient schedule and the job priority
  3. The CommServe's database backup schedule and the index cache size
  4. The storage policy copy and its retention settings

Explanation

Data path selection depends on which MediaAgent is associated with the storage policy copy and on the network configuration that allows the client and MediaAgent to reach each other, such as network topology or gateway settings. Retention, scheduling, and CommServe database settings do not determine the transfer route.

Question 31Storage Policies, Deduplication, and Auxiliary Copy

In a Commvault storage policy, which entity defines the physical destination and retention behavior where a copy's data is written?

  1. The storage policy
  2. The subclient
  3. The storage policy copy Correct answer.
  4. The schedule policy

Explanation

A storage policy is a container that holds one or more copies; each copy is bound to a library and a retention/stream configuration and is the actual write target. The storage policy itself only groups copies and defines global settings such as deduplication selection rules.

Question 32Storage Policies, Deduplication, and Auxiliary Copy

Which copy type is created automatically as the first copy when a new storage policy is configured and is the only copy that can receive backup writes directly?

  1. The primary copy Correct answer.
  2. The snapshot copy
  3. The auxiliary copy
  4. The secondary copy

Explanation

Every storage policy has one primary copy that backup jobs write to directly; all other copies are secondary and are populated through auxiliary copy or other copy operations. Only one copy per storage policy can be designated primary.

Question 33Storage Policies, Deduplication, and Auxiliary Copy

What is the purpose of the deduplication selection rule configured at the storage policy level?

  1. It sets the maximum size of a deduplication database partition
  2. It limits which clients may read from the deduplication database
  3. It encrypts deduplicated blocks before they leave the MediaAgent
  4. It decides which copies store data in deduplicated form and which store it as full data Correct answer.

Explanation

The storage policy deduplication selection rule identifies the copies that should be deduplicated, allowing some copies to hold deduplicated data while others hold full (non-deduplicated) data. This lets administrators balance space savings against restore performance and copy independence.

Question 34Storage Policies, Deduplication, and Auxiliary Copy

A storage policy has a primary copy with 30-day retention and a secondary copy with 90-day retention. A backup is written on January 1. On which date does the secondary copy's data become eligible for aging?

  1. The same day as the primary copy
  2. March 31 Correct answer.
  3. January 31
  4. April 1

Explanation

Each copy maintains its own retention period independent of the other copies in the storage policy. The secondary copy's 90-day retention means its data ages out 90 days after the backup, which is March 31 (or April 1 depending on the aging run cycle), not when the primary copy ages.

Question 35Storage Policies, Deduplication, and Auxiliary Copy

Which component stores the signature/hash information that lets a MediaAgent identify duplicate data blocks during deduplication?

  1. The index cache on the client
  2. The CommServe database
  3. The deduplication database (DDB) Correct answer.
  4. The job results directory

Explanation

The deduplication database holds the signatures of blocks already written so the MediaAgent can determine whether an incoming block is a duplicate. The DDB is hosted on a MediaAgent and can be partitioned for scale.

Question 36Storage Policies, Deduplication, and Auxiliary Copy

Which statement describes the relationship between a deduplication database and its MediaAgent?

  1. The DDB is hosted on a MediaAgent and can be partitioned across multiple MediaAgents Correct answer.
  2. The DDB must reside on the CommServe server
  3. The DDB is embedded in each storage policy copy
  4. The DDB is stored only on the client being backed up

Explanation

A deduplication database is hosted by a MediaAgent that performs deduplication, and for scale it can be partitioned so that different partitions are hosted by different MediaAgents. Clients and copies reference the DDB rather than containing it.

Question 37Storage Policies, Deduplication, and Auxiliary Copy

An auxiliary copy job is configured to copy from the primary copy to a secondary copy. What happens to the source data in the primary copy after a successful auxiliary copy?

  1. It remains in the primary copy until its own retention period expires Correct answer.
  2. It is converted to a synthetic full
  3. It is moved to the secondary copy
  4. It is deleted immediately to free space

Explanation

Auxiliary copy creates an additional copy of the data; it does not remove the source data. The source data in the primary copy stays until the primary copy's retention causes it to age out during a data aging operation.

Question 38Storage Policies, Deduplication, and Auxiliary Copy

Which retention setting on a secondary copy determines how long the copy's data is protected before it can be pruned?

  1. The CommServe's job history retention
  2. The MediaAgent's data aging interval
  3. The storage policy's global retention
  4. The copy's retention period Correct answer.

Explanation

Each copy carries its own retention period that governs when its data becomes eligible for aging and pruning. The storage policy does not override individual copy retention; aging evaluates each copy separately.

Question 39Storage Policies, Deduplication, and Auxiliary Copy

What is the recommended practice for the deduplication database when many clients write to the same deduplicated storage policy?

  1. Store the DDB on a network share to centralize it
  2. Disable deduplication on the primary copy
  3. Host the DDB on the client with the most data
  4. Partition the DDB across multiple MediaAgents to distribute load Correct answer.

Explanation

Partitioning the deduplication database across MediaAgents distributes the signature lookup and write load, improving deduplication throughput when many clients write concurrently. A single unpartitioned DDB can become a bottleneck.

Question 40Storage Policies, Deduplication, and Auxiliary Copy

Which statement about a storage policy copy's stream count is correct?

  1. It defines how many copies can exist in the policy
  2. It sets the maximum number of concurrent data streams the copy can process Correct answer.
  3. It limits the number of clients per subclient
  4. It controls the number of retention rules per copy

Explanation

The stream count on a copy controls the maximum number of concurrent data streams that can be written to or read from that copy, affecting throughput and resource use. It does not govern copy count or retention.

Question 41Storage Policies, Deduplication, and Auxiliary Copy

A MediaAgent performing deduplication needs to look up signatures for incoming blocks. Where does it read the signature information from?

  1. The client's file system
  2. The index cache on the MediaAgent
  3. The job results directory of the auxiliary copy
  4. The deduplication database associated with the copy Correct answer.

Explanation

During deduplication the MediaAgent queries the deduplication database to check whether an incoming block's signature already exists. If it does, only a reference is stored; if not, the block is written and its signature recorded.

Question 42Storage Policies, Deduplication, and Auxiliary Copy

Which condition must be met before an auxiliary copy job can run from a source copy?

  1. The storage policy must have deduplication disabled
  2. The destination copy must be the primary copy
  3. The source copy must be the primary copy and must contain eligible data Correct answer.
  4. The source copy must be sealed

Explanation

Auxiliary copy reads from a source copy, typically the primary copy, and copies data that has not yet been copied to the destination. The source must contain eligible data and be a valid source for the operation.

Question 43Storage Policies, Deduplication, and Auxiliary Copy

What does it mean to seal a storage policy copy?

  1. It prevents any further data from being written to that copy Correct answer.
  2. It changes the copy's retention to infinite
  3. It deletes all data in the copy immediately
  4. It converts the copy into a primary copy

Explanation

Sealing a copy prevents new data from being written to it while leaving existing data readable and subject to its retention. It is often used to freeze a copy before decommissioning or migration.

Question 44Storage Policies, Deduplication, and Auxiliary Copy

Which statement about the relationship between a storage policy and its copies is accurate?

  1. Each copy belongs to a different storage policy
  2. Copies cannot share a library within the same storage policy
  3. A storage policy can contain multiple copies, each with its own library and retention Correct answer.
  4. A storage policy can contain only one copy

Explanation

A storage policy is a container that can hold multiple copies, each configured with its own destination library, retention, and deduplication settings. Copies in the same policy may share a library.

Question 45Storage Policies, Deduplication, and Auxiliary Copy

A secondary copy is configured to use a different library than the primary copy. What is a primary benefit of this configuration?

  1. It provides an independent copy on separate media for disaster recovery Correct answer.
  2. It eliminates the need for a deduplication database
  3. It allows the primary copy to skip retention
  4. It reduces the number of MediaAgents required

Explanation

Placing a secondary copy on a separate library or media type gives an independent copy that survives loss of the primary library, supporting disaster recovery. It does not remove the need for a DDB or change primary retention.

Question 46Storage Policies, Deduplication, and Auxiliary Copy

Which setting on a storage policy copy controls whether the copy is eligible to be used as a source for auxiliary copy?

  1. The copy's encryption setting
  2. The copy's stream count
  3. The copy's retention period
  4. The copy's source-copy eligibility flag Correct answer.

Explanation

A copy can be flagged as eligible to serve as a source for auxiliary copy operations, which determines whether other copies can be populated from it. Stream count, encryption, and retention do not control this eligibility.

Question 47Storage Policies, Deduplication, and Auxiliary Copy

What is the effect of enabling deduplication on a secondary copy that is populated via auxiliary copy from a deduplicated primary copy?

  1. The secondary copy performs its own deduplication using its associated DDB Correct answer.
  2. The secondary copy stores fully expanded data regardless of settings
  3. The secondary copy cannot be created from a deduplicated source
  4. The secondary copy stores only references to the primary copy's blocks

Explanation

When a secondary copy is configured for deduplication, it deduplicates the data it receives using its own associated deduplication database, producing an independent deduplicated copy. It does not merely reference the primary copy's blocks.

Question 48Storage Policies, Deduplication, and Auxiliary Copy

Which statement about data aging in the context of storage policy copies is correct?

  1. Data aging is disabled when deduplication is enabled
  2. Data aging prunes all copies simultaneously regardless of retention
  3. Data aging only applies to the primary copy
  4. Data aging prunes data from each copy independently based on that copy's retention Correct answer.

Explanation

Data aging evaluates each copy separately and prunes data whose retention period has expired for that copy. This allows copies with different retention periods to age out at different times.

Question 49Storage Policies, Deduplication, and Auxiliary Copy

A storage policy copy is configured with a retention period of 0 days. What is the practical effect?

  1. Data is never written to the copy
  2. Data is retained indefinitely
  3. Data becomes eligible for pruning immediately after the job completes Correct answer.
  4. Data is moved to the secondary copy automatically

Explanation

A retention of zero days means the copy's data is eligible for aging as soon as the backup job completes, so it can be pruned on the next aging cycle. It does not mean infinite retention.

Question 50Storage Policies, Deduplication, and Auxiliary Copy

Which component is responsible for performing the actual data movement during an auxiliary copy job?

  1. The MediaAgent Correct answer.
  2. The CommServe
  3. The client
  4. The deduplication database

Explanation

MediaAgents perform the data movement for auxiliary copy jobs, reading from the source copy and writing to the destination copy. The CommServe coordinates the job but does not move data.
