CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1002) — Question 35

A user contacts a technician to troubleshoot server errors. The user explains that some files will not open on the server, the data backups are operational, and the weather has been bad. The technician notices missing time slots in the event log.
Which of the following should the technician replace to prevent these issues in the future?

Answer options

• A. System memory
• B. Surge protector
• C. Hard drives
• D. Battery backup

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as a battery backup can provide power during outages, which helps avoid data corruption and file access issues caused by sudden power loss. The other options, while important, do not directly address the issue of power interruptions related to the bad weather affecting the server's reliability.
