CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) — Question 611

A systems administrator is considering switching from tape backup to an alternative backup solution that would allow data to be readily available in the event of a disaster. Which of the following backup types should the administrator implement?

Answer options

• A. Copy
• B. Incremental
• C. Cloud
• D. Disk
• E. Storage area network

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The Cloud backup solution is the best choice as it offers offsite storage and easy access to data during emergencies. Tape backups are less efficient for quick retrieval, and while Disk and other options can provide good performance, they may not offer the same level of disaster recovery as Cloud solutions.
