[All SK0-005 Questions]

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 option D) Changing the backup job to exclude certain file types could also work, depending on the situation.

Haha, imagine the user just casually sitting at their desk while the backup job is trying to access their files. Like a game of backup-and-mouse!

Open file backups? That's a new one for me. I guess it's worth a try if the other options don't work.

Changing the backup job to exclude certain file types? That's an interesting idea, but it might not be the best solution if the user's important data is being affected.

But wouldn't excluding the user's data from the backup, option C, be the simplest solution?

Moving the user's data off the network share? That seems like a hassle. I'd go with excluding the data from the backup - quick and easy fix.

Hmm, I'd say enabling open file backups is the best option here. That way, the backup job can access the files even if they're in use.
