A company wants to be able to restore a new employee's computer to a standard configuration quickly, including the operating system, standard software, and settings. They have a limited IT budget and want to avoid ongoing costs. Which backup method is most appropriate?

System backup to an external hard drive

System backup to a cloud service

File backup of the entire hard drive to a USB drive

File backup of the user's documents to a cloud service

What is a primary benefit of using cloud storage for backups?

It works without an internet connection

It guarantees that data will never be lost or corrupted

It provides off-site protection, so data is safe even if the local computer is destroyed

In terms of cost, how do local backups typically compare to cloud backups?

Cloud backups are always cheaper because they require no hardware

Local backups are always more expensive because hardware is costly

Local backups usually involve a one-time hardware purchase, while cloud backups often require ongoing subscription fees

Both local and cloud backups have identical cost structures

A user needs to back up a folder of project files that is too large to fit on a single USB drive. They want to be able to restore individual files quickly and do not want to back up the entire system. They also want to avoid ongoing costs. Which backup method is most appropriate?

Split the folder across multiple USB drives

Perform a system backup to a cloud service

What is the primary purpose of a file backup?

To move files to a different folder on the same drive to free up space

To compress files so they take up less storage space on the hard drive

To protect individual files or folders by creating copies that can be used to restore them if they are lost or damaged

To create a copy of the entire operating system so the computer can be restored after a hardware failure
