Question 1

________ is raw facts; ________ is meaning extracted from the ________.
A) Data; information; data
B) Information; information; data
C) Information; data; information
D) Data; information; information

Accepted Answer

Data is raw, unorganized facts that need to be processed. When data is processed, organized, structured or presented in a given context so as to make it useful, it is called information. Thus, information is derived from data.

A) $560 million
B) $890 million
C) $2 billion
D) $7 billion

Accepted Answer

D

Question 3

Attacks on data can happen when it's being stored but not when it's being processed.

Accepted Answer

Attacks on data can occur both when it is being stored, known as data at rest, and when it is being processed, known as data in use.

Question 4

________ refers to ensuring that copies of data files are stored safely and securely and will survive even if data is lost or damaged.
A) Information
B) Data
C) Restoration
D) Storage

Accepted Answer

Data refers to the actual content that needs to be backed up to ensure it can be restored if lost or damaged.

Question 5

The amount of information on a hard drive that is backed up is referred to as ________.
A) image backup
B) backup
C) backup scope
D) file/directory backup

Accepted Answer

Backup scope refers to the amount of information on a hard drive that is backed up, encompassing what data or systems are included in a backup operation.

Question 6

Which of the following is the most common type of backup?
A) A file/directory data backup
B) An image backup
C) Shadowing
D) An incremental backup

Accepted Answer

A file/directory data backup is the most common type of backup, as it allows for the selective backup of specific files and directories, making it widely used for routine data protection.

Question 7

Which of the following is the most common type of backup?
A) A file/directory data backup
B) An image backup
C) Shadowing
D) An incremental backup

Accepted Answer

A file/directory data backup is the most common type of backup, as it allows users to selectively back up specific files or directories.

Question 8

Which of the following is often known as being completed just one time per week?
A) A file/directory data backup
B) An image backup
C) A full backup
D) An incremental backup

Accepted Answer

A full backup is typically completed once a week because it involves copying all files and data, which can be time-consuming and resource-intensive. Incremental and differential backups, which only copy changes since the last backup, are more common for daily tasks.

Question 9

Which of the following is known to be backing up when a file is being worked on?
A) An incremental backup
B) An image backup
C) Shadowing
D) A file/directory data backup

Accepted Answer

Shadowing is a process where a copy of a file or database is created in real-time or near real-time as it is being used or updated. This ensures that there is a backup available in case the original file is corrupted or lost during the editing process.

Question 10

Which of the following is FALSE about periodic full backups and more frequent incremental backups?
A) Incremental backups take less time.
B) Restoration is easy for incremental backups.
C) Most companies mix full and incremental backups.
D) Incremental backups must be careful when restoring.

Accepted Answer

Restoration from incremental backups can be more complex and time-consuming than from full backups because it requires the last full backup and all subsequent incremental backups to be restored in the correct order.

Question 11

Compared to local backup, centralized backup ________.
A) makes it easier to know if backup policies are being followed
B) allows for a wide distributed system of backup within a company
C) requires that every hard drive have backup capabilities
D) requires that all PCs have backup hardware

Accepted Answer

Centralized backup simplifies management and oversight, making it easier to ensure that backup policies are being followed across an organization. It does not inherently require every hard drive or PC to have specific backup capabilities, as centralized systems can manage backups from a central location.

Question 12

If a company has two servers, ________ is an option for backup in which each site backs up the other site.
A) mesh backup
B) centralized backup
C) continuous data protection
D) local backup

Accepted Answer

The answer of If a company has two servers, ________...

Question 13

An image backup is one of the fastest methods of backing a hard drive.

Accepted Answer

An image backup, while comprehensive, is not the fastest method of backing up a hard drive due to the time it takes to create an exact copy of the drive's contents, including the operating system, applications, and data. Incremental or differential backups are typically faster.

Question 14

Several weeks of backups are typically kept of incremental backups.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Several weeks of backups are typically kept...

Question 15

Magnetic tape is ________.
A) very fast
B) very expensive to use
C) able to store vast amounts of data at the lowest cost per bit
D) is still very popular due to its speed

Accepted Answer

Magnetic tape is known for its ability to store large amounts of data at a low cost per bit, making it an economical choice for archival storage and backup.

Question 16

________ refers to storing backed-up data for extended periods of time.
A) Archiving
B) Disk arraying
C) RAID
D) CDP

Accepted Answer

Archiving is the process of storing data that is no longer actively used for extended periods of time for future reference or compliance purposes.

Question 17

There is some research that suggests that DVD or Blu-ray storage of longer than ________ may be problematic.
A) three months
B) one year
C) 15 months
D) two years

Accepted Answer

Research indicates that the lifespan of data stored on DVDs or Blu-rays can be much shorter than expected, with potential problems arising after two years, depending on the quality of the disc and the conditions of storage.

Question 18

If you have a store media that can hold vast amounts of data, is very slow, and has a low cost, you likely have ________.
A) Blu-ray
B) DVDs
C) magnetic tape
D) RAID

Accepted Answer

Magnetic tape is known for its ability to hold vast amounts of data at a low cost, though it has slower access times compared to other storage media like Blu-ray, DVDs, or RAID configurations. This makes it ideal for archival purposes where speed is not a priority.

Question 19

Blu-ray disks can hold ________ GB of data.
A) 8
B) 12 to 56
C) 50 to 128
D) 85 to 120

Accepted Answer

Blu-ray disks have a standard storage capacity of 25 GB per layer, with dual-layer discs holding 50 GB. There are also BDXL formats that can hold up to 128 GB of data (triple-layer 100 GB and quadruple-layer 128 GB).

Question 20

RAID 0, writing data across multiple disks, is known as ________.
A) mirroring
B) striping
C) CDP
D) mesh backup

Accepted Answer

RAID 0, also known as striping, is a data storage technology that involves writing data across multiple disks. This technique improves performance by distributing data across multiple disks, allowing for faster read and write operations.
