220-1102 Question #624: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

An administrator needs to back up the following components of a single workstation: - The installation of the operating system - Applications - User profiles - System settings Which of the following backup methods can the administrator use to ensure the workstation is properly backed up?

Options

• ADifferential
• BImage
• CSynthetic
• DArchive

Explanation

To back up a workstation's operating system, applications, user profiles, and system settings, an administrator should use an image backup method.

Common mistakes.

• A. A differential backup saves only the data that has changed since the last full backup and requires both the last full backup and the latest differential to restore, which is not suitable for a single, comprehensive system backup and recovery.
• C. A synthetic full backup combines an earlier full backup with subsequent incremental backups to create a new full backup, often used in managed backup solutions, but 'image' directly refers to the comprehensive backup type for a workstation.
• D. Archive is typically a file attribute or a long-term storage solution for inactive data, not a specific method for backing up an entire operational workstation's components for recovery.
