Which of the following is a safety feature of cloud-based backups?

The correct answer is C. Offsite storage of data. A key safety feature of cloud-based backups is the inherent offsite storage of data, which protects against local disasters like fires or floods affecting the primary data location.

Why each option

A key safety feature of cloud-based backups is the inherent offsite storage of data, which protects against local disasters like fires or floods affecting the primary data location.

AIncremental copy of data

An incremental copy of data is a method of backing up (saving only changes), not specifically a safety feature unique to cloud or a primary safety mechanism against disasters.

BLocal copy of data

A local copy of data refers to storing backups on-premises, which is the opposite of a primary safety advantage of cloud-based backups.

COffsite storage of dataCorrect

Offsite storage of data is a major safety feature of cloud-based backups. By storing data in a remote data center, it protects against localized disasters (e.g., fire, flood, theft) that could destroy both the primary data and any local backups, thus enhancing data resilience and availability.

DFull backup of PC data

A full backup of PC data is a type of backup (copying all selected data), not specifically a safety feature in itself, though it contributes to comprehensive data recovery.
