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

✓

Add more storage space to the backup target

The final error indicates insufficient storage space. Adding more storage space to the backup target would resolve the issue. The earlier tape error may be a symptom of full storage.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

✗
Reschedule the backup for a later time
Why it's wrong here
Rescheduling does not fix the storage shortage.
✗
Check network connectivity
Why it's wrong here
The error is storage-related, not network.
✗
Replace the tape drive
Why it's wrong here
The initial error was connection lost, but the final failure is storage space, not a hardware fault.
✓
Add more storage space to the backup target
Why this is correct
The explicit error is 'insufficient storage space', so adding space directly addresses the issue.
