CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) — Question 565

Which of the following would an organization most likely use to minimize the loss of data on a file server in the event data needs to be restored?

Answer options

• A. Snapshots
• B. Journaling
• C. Obfuscation
• D. Tokenization

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Snapshots are point-in-time copies of data that allow quick recovery in case of data loss, making them an effective tool for minimizing loss on a file server. Journaling helps in tracking changes but doesn’t create recoverable copies like snapshots do. Obfuscation and tokenization are techniques used to protect data privacy and security, but they do not directly relate to data restoration methods.
