Which activity is part of backup verification?

Checking backup logs for errors

What is the main trade-off when setting a longer backup retention period?

Increased storage costs versus the ability to recover older data

Simpler management versus more complex compliance

Faster backup times versus slower restore times

Higher security versus lower accessibility

A company is moving its backup data to a cloud storage provider. The security policy requires that backup data be protected from unauthorized access by the cloud provider's staff. Which approach best meets this requirement?

Rely on the cloud provider's server-side encryption

Use a private cloud region within the provider's data center

Encrypt backups with a customer-managed key before uploading to the cloud

Store backups in a different cloud provider than the production data

Why is offsite storage of backup media important?

To improve backup speed by using faster media

To protect backups from the same disaster that could affect the primary site

To simplify backup management by centralizing media

To reduce the cost of backup storage

What is a key advantage of using incremental backups over differential backups?

Incremental backups are simpler to manage because they do not require a full backup as a baseline

Incremental backups require less storage space and take less time to run

Incremental backups are more reliable because they copy all data each time

Incremental backups provide faster restore times because fewer tapes are needed
