CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) — Question 576

A home office user wants to ensure a PC is backed up and protected against local natural disasters and hardware failures. Which of the following would meet the user's requirements?

Answer options

• A. Using an agent-based cloud backup solution
• B. Implementing a grandfather-father-son backup rotation
• C. Automating backups to a local network share
• D. Saving files manually to an external drive

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer, A, provides an agent-based cloud backup solution that stores data offsite, protecting against local disasters and hardware failures. Options B and C rely on local storage methods, which do not safeguard against physical threats, while option D is a manual process that lacks the automation and redundancy necessary for reliable protection.
