CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-002) — Question 13

A software company recently moved all of its development testing to a public cloud environment. The company primarily uses IaaS to deploy and test its code. The company needs the software developers to be more agile and efficient when testing application code. Which of the following backup types should the developers use to BEST ensure the speedy recovery of a system if it is damaged?

Answer options

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Incremental backups are ideal for rapid recovery because they only store the changes made since the last backup, minimizing the amount of data to be restored. Full backups, while comprehensive, require more time and storage, making them less efficient for quick recovery. Snapshots provide a point-in-time view but may not capture changes as effectively as incremental backups. Differential backups, while faster than full backups, still require the last full backup plus changes since that point, making them slower than incremental options.
