CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) — Question 425

A payroll server has data on it that needs to be readily available and can be recovered quickly if something is accidentally removed. Which of the following backup methods should be used to provide the fastest data recovery in this situation?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

A Full backup creates a complete copy of all data, allowing for the fastest recovery since all necessary information is stored in one place. In contrast, Differential and Incremental backups require additional steps to restore data, as they depend on previous backups, which can delay recovery. Synthetic backups are also not as immediate as Full backups when it comes to restoring data quickly.
