A server has 500GB of data that must be backed up nightly. The administrator has upgraded the old LTO2 drive to an LTO3, but the data still will not fit on a single tape. Which of the following additional steps should the administrator perform to accommodate the data? (Select TWO).

Question

Accepted Answer

A. Enable compression on the new drive LTO3 supports hardware compression at roughly a 2:1 ratio, raising effective capacity from 400GB native to approximately 800GB, which is sufficient to hold 500GB of data on one tape. D. Purchase LTO3 tapes for use in the new drive LTO3 tapes are specifically required for reliable, rated operation in an LTO3 drive; using incompatible or older-generation tapes would prevent the drive from operating at its full native capacity.

Answer

B. Reformat all tapes Reformatting tapes changes the tape structure but does not increase the physical capacity of LTO3 media.

Answer

C. Delete unnecessary system files Deleting system files is a data management action, not a backup configuration step, and does not address backup hardware or media capacity.

Answer

E. Purchase new backup software New backup software cannot increase the physical storage capacity of the tape media or the drive.
