CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) — Question 179

A company is looking for a solution that provides a backup for all data on the system while providing the lowest impact to the network. Which of the following backup types will the company MOST likely select?

Answer options

• A. Off-site
• B. Synthetic
• C. Full
• D. Differential

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, Synthetic backup, as it combines full and incremental backups, reducing the load on the network during backup operations. Off-site (A) backups often involve data transfer over the network, which could increase impact, while Full (C) and Differential (D) backups generally require more data to be moved, thus potentially affecting network performance more than Synthetic backups.
