ITPEC FE Morning October 2023 — Question 19 of 80

Archiver Utility — packs multiple files into one archive for backup and distribution.

An archiver compiles several files into a single archive file and can reconstruct the originals. Used for data backup and distribution (e.g., tar, zip, rar).

Why not others:
- (b) — describes disk partitioning (creating data and management areas on one disk)

- (c) — describes file protection / copy protection (safeguarding data from unauthorized use and copying)

- (d) — describes defragmentation (rearranging fragmented files into contiguous areas)

Key rule: Archiver = bundle files into one + extract back. Think tar, zip, rar.
