CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-002) — Question 157

A backup solution for a new cloud environment must meet the following requirements:
* Use no more than two backup sets for a complete restore.
* Minimize backup space used.
* Support physical and virtual machines.
Which of the following BEST meets these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Weekly full backups with daily incremental backups
• B. Weekly clones with daily incremental backups
• C. Weekly full backups with daily differential backups
• D. Weekly and daily snapshots via the hypervisor

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Option A is correct because weekly full backups combined with daily incremental backups effectively limit the number of backup sets needed for a complete restore while also optimizing storage space. The other options either do not meet the requirement of using only two backup sets or do not efficiently manage backup space.
