Deploying SharePoint Server Hybrid (legacy) — Question 29

You are planning the backup strategy for a SharePoint Server farm.
You need to back up content databases automatically every week. The solution must minimize the backup size.
What should you do?

Answer options

• A. Create a scheduled task that runs Backup-SPFarm
• B. Create a scheduled task that runs wbadmin.exe
• C. From Windows Server Backup, create a backup schedule that performs a full server backup
• D. From Windows Server Backup, create a backup schedule that performs a custom backup
• E. Create a scheduled task that runs Backup-SPSite
• F. From Backup and Restore in Central Administration, configure a farm backup.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because Backup-SPFarm is specifically designed to back up SharePoint farms and can efficiently minimize the backup size by focusing on content databases. Options B and C do not specifically target SharePoint content databases, while D offers a custom backup that may not be as efficient. Option E focuses on individual site collections instead of the entire farm, and F is less direct than the scheduled task approach.
