Actual exam question for CompTIA's 220-1202 exam

Question #: 5
Topic #: 1

A technician notices that the weekly backup is taking too long to complete. The daily backups are incremental. Which of the following would most likely resolve the issue?

AChanging the backup window

BPerforming incremental weekly backups

CIncreasing the backup storage

DRunning synthetic full weekly backups

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

Synthetic full backups consolidate the most recent full backup and subsequent incremental backups into a new full backup on the backup storage, without repeatedly reading all data from the production systems. This approach significantly reduces the time impact on the network and source systems during the weekly backup window while still providing a full backup set for restoration.

Hmm, I'm leaning towards B. Incremental weekly backups might be the answer here. Less data to transfer than a full backup, but still keeping things fresh. Plus, it's alliterative - can't go wrong with that!

I think B is a good choice too. It would definitely help speed up the backup process.

Ah, the age-old backup dilemma. I'd say C is the way to go - more storage is the easiest solution. Who needs fancy synthetic backups when you can just throw more hard drives at the problem?

Definitely go with D. Synthetic full weekly backups will save us a ton of time and storage space. I can't believe we haven't been doing this already!
