CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 353

Which of the following backup types should be chosen for database servers?

Answer options

• A. Differential
• B. Incremental
• C. Synthetic full
• D. Open file

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct choice is Synthetic full because it combines data from previous backups to create a new full backup without needing to read the source data multiple times. Differential and Incremental backups may not provide the comprehensive recovery options needed for database servers, while Open file backups are more focused on backing up files that are currently in use rather than the database itself.
