ITPEC IP October 2025 Question 19
ITPEC IP October 2025 — Question 19 of 100
Use Sunday's full backup, then Monday's and Tuesday's incremental backups — every incremental link since the full backup is required.
The Sunday full backup establishes the complete base. Monday's incremental contains changes since Sunday. Tuesday's incremental contains only changes since Monday's backup, not all changes since the full backup. Restoring in chronological order reconstructs the state at Tuesday closing.
Answer (a)
Why not others:
- (b) omits Monday's changes because Tuesday is incremental rather than differential
- (c) lacks the complete Sunday base
- (d) lacks both the base and Monday's changes
Key rule: Restore an incremental chain from the latest full backup followed by every incremental backup in order; a differential backup would require only the latest differential plus the full.
