CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) — Question 522

An administrator needs to back up the following components of a single workstation:

• The installation of the operating system
• Applications
• User profiles
• System settings

Which of the following backup methods can the administrator use to ensure the workstation is properly backed up?

Answer options

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as an Image backup captures the entire state of the workstation, including the operating system, applications, user profiles, and system settings. The other options, such as Differential, only back up changes since the last full backup, Synthetic involves combining backups, and Archive typically refers to older data, making them unsuitable for a complete workstation backup.
