Backup

• What is the primary task performed by utility software?

  Maintain or optimize systems
• What are the three main purposes of backup utility software?

  Preserve data, enable recovery, optimize storage
• Match the backup type with its key feature:

  Full Backup ↔️ Creates a complete copy of all data

  Incremental Backup ↔️ Backs up only new or modified files

  Differential Backup ↔️ Backs up all changes since the last full backup

  Cloud Backup ↔️ Stores backups in remote cloud storage
• What factors influence the choice of backup utility software?

  Data size, frequency, storage
• What is the key advantage of cloud backup?

  Offsite data protection
• What does a firewall protect a system against?

  Unauthorized network access
• What is the primary purpose of utility software?

  Maintain, manage, or optimize systems
• Steps involved in using a disk defragmenter

  1️⃣ Analyze fragmented files

  2️⃣ Reorganize file layout

  3️⃣ Enhance read/write speeds
• What does a task scheduler automate in a computer system?

  Routine tasks and maintenance
• What is the main benefit of using a compression utility?

  Reduce file sizes
• What is one primary function of backup software regarding data recovery?

  Restore data from backups
• Steps in the process of backing up data

  1️⃣ Choose data to backup

  2️⃣ Select backup type

  3️⃣ Configure backup settings

  4️⃣ Initiate backup

  5️⃣ Verify backup
• Backup software helps preserve data by creating copies of important files, folders, or entire systems
• What is the primary purpose of backup software?

  Protect against data loss
• Backup software allows users to recover data in case of system failures.


  True
• Match the backup type with its purpose:

  Full Backup ↔️ Create a complete copy of all data

  Incremental Backup ↔️ Backup only new/modified files

  Differential Backup ↔️ Backup all changes since last full backup

  Cloud Backup ↔️ Store backups in remote cloud storage
• Differential backup is faster than a full backup.


  True
• The choice of backup software depends on specific user needs
• Full backup requires high storage usage but simplifies the restore process.

  True
• What is the main purpose of a full backup in system management?

  Backs up all data at once
• Match the factor with its relevance in choosing backup software:

  Storage Capacity ↔️ Determines the type of backup possible

  Backup Frequency ↔️ Affects data recovery speed

  Disaster Recovery Needs ↔️ Influences the backup method
• The type of backup selected depends on storage and backup frequency
• Steps in the data backup process

  1️⃣ Choose Data

  2️⃣ Select Backup Type

  3️⃣ Configure Backup Settings

  4️⃣ Initiate Backup

  5️⃣ Verify Backup
• Backup settings such as frequency, location, and compression options are configured through backup software interface


  True
• Which backup type requires the most storage space?

  Full Backup
• Incremental backups are faster than full backups


  True
• Cloud storage for backups depends on internet connectivity
• Match the type of utility software with its purpose:

  Antivirus ↔️ Detects and removes malicious software

  Disk Defragmenter ↔️ Optimizes file organization

  Backup Software ↔️ Creates data backups
• A task scheduler can automate routine backups and system maintenance


  True
• What is the purpose of data preservation in system management?

  Securing essential files
• Data compression reduces storage requirements
• What is the key benefit of incremental backups?

  Faster and smaller backups
• Choosing the right backup software is vital for ensuring data security and efficient system management.

  True
• What is the primary function of data preservation in system management?

  Securing essential files
• Steps involved in backing up data

  1️⃣ Choose Data

  2️⃣ Select Backup Type

  3️⃣ Configure Settings

  4️⃣ Initiate Backup

  5️⃣ Verify Backup
• What settings can be configured during the backup process?

  Frequency, location, compression
• A full backup copies all selected data and ensures full restoration but requires more storage.


  True
• A differential backup is faster than a full
• Compare Full Backup and Incremental Backup based on their characteristics:

  Storage Usage ↔️ High (Full) ||| Low (Incremental)

  Backup Speed ↔️ Slower (Full) ||| Faster (Incremental)

  Restoration Complexity ↔️ Simple (Full) ||| Complex (Incremental)
• Cloud storage offers scalable storage capacity and offsite data protection
