Which of the following is NOT an example of utility software?

• File repair

• Disk defragmentation

• Anti-malware

• Word processor

What is a common reason files require repair?

• File encryption
• File compression
• File deletion
• File corruption

What is the difference between incremental and full back up?

• The difference is that a full backup captures all data, while an incremental backup only saves changes since the last backup.
• Full backups are performed daily, while incremental backups are done weekly.
• Incremental backups are larger than full backups.
• A full backup only saves changes, while an incremental backup captures all data.

Where should you back up your files to?

• External hard drive, cloud storage, or network-attached storage.
• Emailing files to yourself
• USB flash drive left in a public place
• The main computer you work on

What is the purpose of compression software?

• To organize files into folders automatically.
• To increase file size for better quality.
• To encrypt files for security purposes.
• To reduce file size for storage and transfer.

Why should solid state not have disk defragmentation ran on it?

• Because they access data differently than traditional hard drives and don't have moving parts and this can reduce their lifespan.

• Solid state drives need defragmentation to improve performance.
• Defragmentation helps solid state drives access data faster.
• Running defragmentation on solid state drives is recommended for better data organization.

What is the purpose of disk defragmentation?

• To increase the amount of free space on the disk.
• To delete unnecessary files from the hard drive.
• To create backups of important data.
• To improve the performance and speed of a computer by reorganizing fragmented data.

Where are related data to files stored after disk defragmentation?

• Random sectors on the disk
• In a separate temporary folder
• In the system's RAM
• Contiguous (one after another next to each other) blocks on the disk

If i hard disk drive becomes 'fragmented' what does this mean?

• Fragmentation means that files are stored in non-contiguous sectors on the hard drive.
• Fragmentation refers to the hard drive being physically damaged.
• Fragmentation means the hard drive is full.
• Fragmentation indicates that the hard drive is running faster.

Which of the following can anti-malware NOT identify?

• Software vulnerabilities

• Virus

• Trojan

• Spyware
