CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 292

Which of the following backup methods can be performed while a server is running, will not interrupt files in use, and can be used to fully restore the server if needed?

Answer options

• A. Snapshot
• B. Archive
• C. Open file
• D. Differential

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer, Snapshot, allows for real-time backups without interrupting services, making it ideal for live environments. Archive and Open file backups may not fully support all running applications or ensure complete data integrity during the process, while Differential backups require a previous full backup and do not operate in real-time without potential service disruption.
