Question 2

What are some ways you can make your backups more space-efficient? Check all that apply.

• Use full backups only
• Use compression
• Use encryption
• Use incremental backups

Question 3

What’s the purpose of a post-mortem report?

• To learn from mistakes
• To test systems
• To identify those in the wrong
• To assign legal liability

Question 4

Question 5

What are advantages of on-site backups? Check all that apply.

• There is less bandwidth usage.
• Data is safe in case of disaster.

Question 6

Budget constraints aside, what is the ideal backup solution?

• No backup
• Both on-site and off-site backup
• On-site backup
• Off-site (cloud) backup

Question 7

What are good reasons to do yearly disaster recovery testing? Check all that apply.

• To create downtime

Question 8

Common concerns with backups are disk failure, lack of redundancy, and the necessity of future growth of disk capacity. Which backup method adresses these concerns and has multiple levels of use depending on how you want to prioritize features like performance, capacity, or reliability?
