Dell EMC Associate – Backup and Recovery Solutions Design v2 — Question 14

How does a synthetic full backup enable a full backup copy to be created?

Answer options

• A. offline without disrupting the I/O operation on the production volume
• B. offline with less I/O operation to create index pointers using fast copy
• C. online with throttled I/O operation on the production volume
• D. online with throttled I/O operation during index merge maintenance task

Correct answer: A

Explanation

A synthetic full backup is performed offline, which means it does not interfere with the ongoing I/O operations of the production volume, allowing for a complete backup to be created without any service disruption. The other options suggest online operations or throttled I/O, which could affect production performance or availability.
