Computer Backup Types Quiz

What is a full backup?

• A backup that excludes system files

• A complete copy of all data in a system or device.

• A backup that only includes text documents

• A backup of only the most important files

Explain the process of performing a full backup.

• Copying all the data from a system to another storage device.

• Encrypting the data on the system

• Transferring data from one folder to another

• Deleting all the data from a system

What is an incremental backup?

• A type of backup that only copies files that have been changed since the last backup.

• A backup that only copies files from a specific folder

• A backup that only copies files from a specific date

• A backup that copies all files every time

Describe the advantages of using incremental backup.

• Slower recovery process

• Increases the risk of data loss

• Saves time and storage space

• Requires more frequent manual intervention

What is a differential backup?

• Option 1: A type of backup that only copies files that have changed since the last full backup.

• Option 2: A backup that includes all files on the computer.

• Option 3: A backup that only saves files from a specific folder.

• Option 1: A type of backup that only copies files that have changed since the last full backup.

Discuss the differences between incremental and differential backup.

• Both types of backups only back up the data that has changed, but incremental backup only backs up the changes since the last backup, while differential backup backs up all the changes since the last full backup.

• Incremental backup backs up all the changes since the last full backup, while differential backup only backs up the changes since the last backup

• Incremental backup and differential backup are the same thing

• Incremental backup and differential backup both back up the entire system every time

What is cloud backup?

• A method of backing up data to a remote, cloud-based server.

• A method of backing up data to a local computer network.

• A method of backing up data to a floppy disk.

• A method of backing up data to a physical external hard drive.

List the benefits of using cloud backup for data storage.

• Data privacy, manual backups, hardware dependency, and data isolation

• Data integrity, offline access, fixed capacity, and low reliability

• Data security, slow access, limited storage, and high cost

• Data redundancy, accessibility, automatic backups, and scalability

What is local backup?

• Backup of data on a storage device in the same physical location as the original data

• Backup of data on a storage device in a different physical location from the original data

• Backup of data on a cloud server

• Backup of data on a storage device in a different country from the original data

Explain the importance of having a local backup for data security.

• It allows for easier access to data

• It increases the risk of data being compromised

• It helps in reducing the amount of storage space needed

• It ensures that data can be recovered in case of system failure or data loss.
