Topic #: 2

An administrator received an alert that a backup job has been unsuccessful in the previous three attempts. The administrator discovers the issue occurred while backing up a user's data on a network share. Which of the following actions would be best to allow the job to complete successfully?

AEnabling open file backups in the backup job

BMoving the user's data off the network share

CExcluding the user's data from the backup

DChanging the backup job to exclude certain file types

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

Enabling open file backups allows the backup software to copy files that are currently open or in use by applications. This ensures that even if a file is actively being modified during the backup process, it will still be included in the backup.

Advantages:

Ensures consistency of backed-up data, especially for files that are frequently accessed or modified.

Prevents data loss due to files being skipped during backup.

I think excluding the user's data from the backup, option C), could be the most efficient way to resolve the problem.

I agree with Abel, open file backups could solve the issue.

Open file backups? That's like trying to catch a greased pig. Good luck with that one!

Changing the backup job to exclude certain file types? Sounds like someone's trying to get out of doing their actual job. Just do the backup properly!

Excluding the user's data from the backup is a bit risky, don't you think? What if they need to restore that data later on?

I'm thinking moving the user's data off the network share might be the easiest solution. That way, you don't have to deal with the open file problem at all.
