CompTIA Exam CV0-004 Topic 1 Question 5 Discussion

Actual exam question for CompTIA's CV0-004 exam

Question #: 5
Topic #: 1

A systems administrator is configuring backups on a VM and needs the process to run as quickly as possible, reducing the bandwidth on the network during all times from Monday through Saturday. In the event of data corruption, the management team expects the mean time to recovery to be as low as possible. Which of the following backup methods can the administrator use to accomplish these goals?

AIncremental backup daily to the cloud

BFull backup on Sunday and incremental backups on all other days of the week

CDifferential backup daily to the cloud

DIncremental backups during off-hours on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

To achieve a quick backup process and reduce bandwidth use, the administrator should perform a Full backup on Sunday and incremental backups on all other days of the week. This method ensures that only the changes made since the last full backup are copied, reducing the amount of data that needs to be transferred each time, and thus the time and bandwidth required.

That's a good point, Joni. Option D does offer more control over when backups are performed, potentially reducing network congestion during business hours.

I disagree. I think option D is better because performing incremental backups during off-hours on specific days can help distribute the workload and reduce impact on network bandwidth during peak times.

I agree with Arminda. Option B seems like the most efficient choice for reducing network bandwidth and ensuring quick recovery in case of data corruption.

I think option B would work best. A full backup on Sunday will capture all data, with incremental backups on other days minimizing the amount of data transferred.

But wouldn't option B provide more timely recovery in case of data corruption?

Hmm, I see the logic in all of these options. But what about A? Incremental backups to the cloud could be a good compromise - we get the speed of incremental backups and the offsite storage for quick recovery.

I'm not convinced. Differential backups can be slower to restore than incremental, and we want the fastest possible recovery time. I'd go with option D - incremental backups during off-hours on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. That way, we're minimizing the impact on the network.

I disagree. I think the best option here is C - differential backups to the cloud. That way, we're reducing the bandwidth during the week and the recovery time should be pretty quick if we need to restore.

Hmm, this is a tough one. I'm leaning towards option B - full backup on Sunday and incremental backups on the other days. That way, we get a comprehensive backup each week without impacting the network too much on a daily basis.
