CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 193

Which of the following backup types resets the archive bit each time it is run?

Answer options

• A. Differential
• B. Snapshot
• C. Incremental
• D. Synthetic full

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The Incremental backup type resets the archive bit after it completes, indicating that the files have been backed up. In contrast, Differential backups only set the archive bit for files that have changed since the last full backup, and Snapshot and Synthetic full methods do not alter the archive bit in the same way.
