ITPEC IP April 2019 Question 18
ITPEC IP April 2019 — Question 18 of 100
An archiver packages multiple files into one archive and can restore the original files. This makes groups of files easier to back up, transfer, or distribute; compression may also be applied, although packaging and extraction are the defining functions here.
Answer (b)
Why not others:
- (a) describes disk partitioning or storage-area management
- (c) describes access control and copy-protection functions
- (d) describes a disk defragmenter that rearranges scattered file blocks
Key rule: Archiving combines files into a container and extraction restores them; defragmentation reorganizes their physical placement on storage.
