The best way to learn and pass would be to take the education classes.  If
that is not possible, I would suggest reading all the manuals and work with
the products.  If you have access to the online training, I'd suggest
printing it off and study.

The Data Protection/Netbackup exams are not bad if you have a in-depth
working knowledge of Netbackup, tape "speeds and feeds", robotic sizing,
disaster recovery methodology, and "optional" Veritas software products.  I
took the beta DP-001 test which was no problem except for having 170+
questions.  DP-002 requires more indepth knowledge of Netbackup than DP-001.

VxFS exam can be a real "bear".  If you do not know this product "in-depth",
don't waste your time taking it.  While 99% of the installers out there
utilize the GUI for configuration, this exam tests you on the back-end
commands and configurations affiliated with the product. This test also
requires a higher score to pass than the DP-001/2 tests.

Good luck!
