A backup administrator has created a schedule to run a full backup on Friday and an incremental backup Monday through Thursday. On which of the following days of the week will the backup clear the…

Incremental backups running Monday through Thursday read the archive bit to identify changed files but do not reset it, so no archive bits are cleared on those days.

Monday only is incorrect because incremental backups on no single day clear the archive bit - that operation is performed only by a full backup.

Friday is the day the full backup runs, and a full backup clears the archive bit on every file it backs up to indicate those files have been captured. Incremental backups read the archive bit to identify changed files but do not clear it - that reset function belongs exclusively to the full backup type. Therefore, only Friday's scheduled full backup will clear the archive bit.

Monday through Friday is incorrect because the incremental backups running Monday through Thursday do not clear the archive bit; only the full backup on Friday performs that operation.
