I just completed this, stay well away from TesKing products, I looked and found many problems and clearly incorrect information in their study guides.
Hard work is the only way to achieved this.

Question about these ...
 
If the 20-question practice tests were a "walk in the park" ... is the actual exam much harder?  Anybody have any ideas on how lengthy these exams are?  Thanks.
 
.... I just was looking at some of the following exams/certs:
 
DP-021W  Design of Data Protection Solutions for Microsoft Windows
DP-022W Implementation of Data Protection Solutions for Microsoft Windows
DP-023W Data Protection Administration for Microsoft Windows
DP-023X Data Protection Administration for UNIX
DPTS-002W VERITAS Certified NetBackup Support Engineer for Windows
DPTS-002X VERITAS Certified NetBackup Support Engineer for UNIX
 
Do you recommend taking all these exams ... or which ones are going to benefit me the most?  Any comments on what to focus on?

In my experience, the samples on the site are on the easy side, the details etc can be found at http://www.pearsonvue.com/veritas/examspec/index.asp#dpswin50
 
There's about 60 questions with about 1 1/2 hrs to complete each exam. They're all multi guess, some have Unix client question in there on the Windows exam, which I found a little odd, but the theory is the same as WinTel and some have multiple answers. Each on has about a 65% pass mark.
 
It would probably be worth getting some study aids, I cannot recommend any though, the ones I used turned out to be rubbish.
 
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the information!  I was actually just planning on studying the manuals a little bit.
