CompTIA Security+ (SY0-501) — Question 147

Joe, a backup administrator, wants to implement a solution that will reduce the restoration time of physical servers. Which of the following is the BEST method for
Joe to use?

Answer options

• A. Differential
• B. Incremental
• C. Full
• D. Snapshots

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The Full backup method is the most efficient for reducing restoration time since it captures all data in one complete backup, enabling faster recovery. Differential and Incremental backups require additional time to restore because they depend on previous backups, while Snapshots may not capture all data changes if not used correctly.
