CompTIA SK0-005 Exam - Topic 2 Question 77 Discussion

Actual exam question for CompTIA's SK0-005 exam

Question #: 77
Topic #: 2

A server administrator implemented a new backup solution and needs to configure backup methods for remote sites. These remote sites have low bandwidth and backups must not

interfere with the network during normal business hours. Which of the following methods can be used to meet these requirements? (Select two).

AOpen file

BArchive

CCloud

DSnapshot

EDifferential

FSynthetic full

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B, E

Archive is a method of storing historical data that is not frequently accessed or modified. Archive can reduce the amount of data that needs to be backed up and save bandwidth and storage space. Differential is a method of backing up only the data that has changed since the last full backup. Differential can also save bandwidth and storage space, as well as speed up the backup process.

Snapshot is also a solid choice, right?

Wait, can Cloud really handle low bandwidth?

Archive seems too slow for this situation.

I’m a bit confused about the archive option; it seems like it might not be the best fit for low bandwidth, but I’m not completely certain.

I feel like we practiced a question similar to this, and I think differential backups could work since they only back up changes since the last full backup.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think snapshots might be a good option too, especially if they can be taken without affecting the network.

I remember we discussed how cloud backups can be beneficial for low bandwidth situations since they can be scheduled for off-peak hours.

I feel pretty confident about this one. The key is to focus on the low-bandwidth and no-interference requirements. That rules out options like Open file and Cloud, which would likely use a lot of bandwidth. Snapshot and Differential seem like the best choices to meet the needs of the remote sites.

I'm not entirely sure about this one. The wording is a bit tricky, and I'm not super familiar with all the backup methods listed. I'll need to review my notes and think it through carefully before selecting my answer.

Okay, I've got this. The two methods that can meet the requirements are Snapshot and Differential. Snapshot creates a point-in-time copy of the data without impacting the network, and Differential only backs up the changes since the last full backup, which should be less data to transfer over the low-bandwidth connection.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on this one. The requirements about low bandwidth and no network interference during business hours are throwing me off. I'll need to think through the different backup methods and how they might work in this scenario.

This one looks tricky, but I think I can figure it out. The key is to focus on the requirements - low bandwidth and no network interference during business hours. I'm going to start by eliminating the obvious options that don't meet those needs.

I would also consider Synthetic full backups as they can reduce the amount of data transferred over the network.

Hmm, this is a tough one. I'm going to go with Snapshot and Cloud. The Cloud option could be a good way to handle the backups without impacting the network during business hours. Plus, who doesn't love a little bit of the 'cloud' magic, am I right?

Definitely Snapshot and Differential! Those options seem to be the perfect fit for the low-bandwidth requirement. I'm just glad I don't have to configure the backups - that's way too much work for me!

I think the answer should be Snapshot and Differential. Snapshot backups capture the entire system state at a specific point in time, while Differential backups only include the changes since the last full backup, both of which should work well for low-bandwidth remote sites.
