CompTIA Security+ Certification SY0-601: The Total Course - Data Backup

The video tutorial discusses the importance of data backups for ensuring data availability, especially in the event of a disaster. It covers various storage options, including on-premises and cloud solutions, and emphasizes the need for encryption and compression. The tutorial explains different types of backups, such as full, incremental, and differential, and their respective advantages and disadvantages. It also provides a practical guide on configuring backups in a Windows 10 environment, highlighting the importance of the recovery point objective.

Why is it crucial to have comprehensive data backups?

• To enhance data encryption

• To increase data processing speed

• To ensure data availability during disasters

• To reduce server downtime

Which of the following is NOT a backup storage option mentioned?

• Offsite storage

• On-premises storage

• Public cloud storage

• Local hard drive storage

What is the purpose of the archive bit in backup processes?

• To encrypt files during backup

• To determine if a file needs to be backed up

• To schedule backup times

• To compress files before backup

What is a limitation of virtual machine snapshots?

• They cannot be used for configuration changes

• They do not replace full data backups

• They are not compatible with cloud storage

• They are time-consuming to create

Which type of backup is quickest to restore?

• Snapshot backup

• Differential backup

• Incremental backup

• Full backup

What is a characteristic of an incremental backup?

• Requires the least storage space

• Backs up all data every time

• Only backs up new or changed data since the last incremental backup

• Only backs up new or changed data since the last full backup

How often should backups be configured to meet a recovery point objective (RPO) of six hours?

• Every three hours
