CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1002) — Question 6
During the firmware upgrade of a web server, a power outage occurred. The outage caused a failure within the upgrade.
Which of the following plans must be implemented to revert back to the most recent version of the firmware?
Answer options
- A. Backout plan
- B. Contingency plan
- C. Alternative plan
- D. Backup plan
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is A, as a Backout plan is specifically designed to revert changes made during an upgrade process. Options B, C, and D do not directly address the need to restore the firmware to its previous state; a Contingency plan is more about preparing for unexpected events, an Alternative plan suggests a different approach going forward, and a Backup plan refers to having a copy of the data but doesn't indicate how to revert changes from a failed upgrade.
