CompTIA Security+ (SY0-501) — Question 803

Which of the following are disadvantages of full backups? (Choose three.)

Answer options

• A. They rely on other backups for recovery
• B. They require the most storage
• C. They demand the most bandwidth
• D. They have the slowest recovery time
• E. They are impossible in virtual environments
• F. They require on-site storage
• G. They are time-consuming to complete

Correct answer: B, D, G

Explanation

The correct answers are B, D, and G because full backups require a significant amount of storage space, lead to slower recovery times compared to incremental backups, and can be very time-consuming to complete. Options A, C, E, and F are incorrect as they either do not apply to full backups or are not universally true.
