Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) — Question 93

Which backup method only copies files that have been recently added or changed and also leaves the archive bit unchanged?

Answer options

• A. Full backup method
• B. Incremental backup method
• C. Fast backup method
• D. Differential backup method D

Correct answer:

Explanation

The correct answer is the Incremental backup method, as it only backs up files that have changed since the last backup and does not alter the archive bit. In contrast, the Full backup method copies all files regardless of changes, the Fast backup method is not a standard term in backup strategies, and the Differential backup method backs up all changed files since the last full backup, affecting the archive bit.
