CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) — Question 279

A systems administrator would like to create a point-in-time backup of a virtual machine. Which of the following should the administrator use?

Answer options

• A. Replication
• B. Simulation
• C. Snapshot
• D. Containerization

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Snapshot, as it allows for capturing the state of a virtual machine at a particular point in time, making it easy to revert back if needed. Replication involves copying data to another location, Simulation doesn't apply to backup processes, and Containerization refers to packaging applications, not backing up VMs.
