CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) — Question 5

A company installed a new backup and recovery system. Which of the following types of backups should be completed FIRST?

Answer options

• A. Full
• B. Non-parity
• C. Differential
• D. Incremental

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The first backup should be a Full backup because it captures all the data in the system and establishes a baseline for future backups. Other backup types like Differential or Incremental rely on an existing Full backup to function correctly, making them unsuitable as the first step.
