A server administrator is currently working on an incident. Which of the following steps should the administrator perform before resolving the issue?
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.
