What is the purpose of performing a test restore of a backup?

To reduce the storage space used by the backup

To verify that the backup data can be successfully recovered

A company's backup policy requires that a file be recoverable to any point in time over the past 30 days. The backup software supports full, incremental, and differential backups. The administrator wants to minimize the number of backup jobs while ensuring that any version of a file from the last 30 days can be restored. Which backup strategy should the administrator implement?

Daily full backups with versioning enabled, retaining 30 versions.

Weekly full backups with daily differentials, retaining 5 weeks of data.

Monthly full backups with daily incrementals, retaining 6 months of data.

Weekly full backups with daily incrementals, retaining 5 weeks of data.

A hospital's backup administrator is restoring a 2 TB database from encrypted backups to a test server. The administrator needs to confirm that the restored files are byte-for-byte identical to the original data before the database is brought online. Which action should the administrator take?

Compare the SHA-256 hash of each restored file against the hash values recorded in the backup manifest.

Check the file timestamps on the restored files to ensure they match the original production server.
