FC0-U71 Practice Question: Implement a backup solution that allows for quick…
A company wants to implement a backup solution that allows for quick restoration of individual files. Which backup type should be used?
⚠ Common exam trap
It's easy for candidates to choose differential or incremental backups because they are faster to create, but the question specifically asks for quick restoration of individual files, which is best achieved with a full backup due to its independence and simplicity.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Full backup
A full backup creates a complete copy of all selected data, allowing any individual file to be restored directly from that single backup set without needing to process other backup sets. This makes it the simplest and fastest option for restoring specific files, as no additional dependencies or chain reconstructions are required.
