CompTIA Server+ (SK0-004) — Question 55

A backup administrator has created a schedule to run a full backup on Friday and an incremental backup Monday through Thursday. On which of the following days of the week will the backup clear the archive bit on files during the backup?

Answer options

• A. Monday through Thursday
• B. Monday only
• C. Friday only
• D. Monday through Friday

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The archive bit is cleared during a full backup, which occurs on Friday in this schedule. Incremental backups, which take place from Monday through Thursday, do not clear the archive bit; they only back up files that have changed since the last full backup.
