EMC Information Storage Fundamentals — Question 12

A customer has a requirement to perform a backup each night. However, the customer has a limited amount of time for backups to run on week nights, Monday through Friday evenings.
Which backup granularity type is recommended to meet the backup window for those nights?

Answer options

• A. Incremental
• B. Cumulative
• C. Full
• D. Differential

Correct answer: C

Explanation

A Full backup is recommended because it captures all data at once, ensuring a complete backup within the limited time frame. Incremental, Differential, and Cumulative backups may take longer to restore since they rely on previous backups, which could exceed the available backup window during weeknights.
