After a system failure, you restart the system in Directory Services Restore Mode to restore Active Directory from a backup.

You used the Administrator account the previous day, and the password has not been changed since then. What is the most likely cause of the problem?
a.You must use the first password ever associated with the Administrator account.
b.You must use the username DSRESTORE and the Administrator account password to enter Directory Services Restore Mode.

How does using the volume shadow copy feature of Windows Server 2003 help system administrators?
a.It reduces the need to perform backups.
b.It allows multiple copies of a file to be written to different locations at the same time.
c.It reduces the amount of time that it takes to perform a backup.
d.It reduces the need to restore individual files from backup.(This is what I think the answer is)
**This one I don't understand**You are the network administrator for a chemical wholesaler in Spokane, Washington. You have a single Windows Server 2003 system with three disk drives. One drive holds the system and boot partition, the second drive is used for file storage, and the third drive is used to store the order processing system and sales database. You back up the system with a full backup each Friday, and you do an incremental backup on all other weekdays at 7 P.M. One of your suppliers sends you electronic copies of its new product catalogs, along with ordering codes. In all, there are 50 files named Cat1 through Cat50.
Sure! I'd be happy to help you with your questions and check the answers you provided. Let's go through each question one by one:
1. Which of the following media has the largest data storage capacity?
The options are:
a. Zip cartridge
b. CD
c. DVD
d. Jaz cartridge
The correct answer is c. DVD. To determine this, you need to compare the storage capacities of each media type. DVDs generally have higher storage capacities compared to CDs, Zip cartridges, and Jaz cartridges.
2. Why is hardware data compression for backups preferred over software data compression?
The options are:
a. Hardware compression is more accurate than software compression.
b. Hardware compression can be used with any type of backup, including differential.
c. Hardware compression occurs on the tape drive and does not burden the system processor.
d. Hardware compression can gain much higher compression ratios than software compression.
The correct answer is d. Hardware compression can gain much higher compression ratios than software compression. To determine this, you need to understand the advantages of hardware compression over software compression, such as better compression ratios and reduced burden on the system processor.
3. If you do a full backup to a single tape on a Friday night and then an incremental backup to a single tape on all other days of the week (including the weekend), if a system failure occurs, what is the maximum number of tapes required to perform a full restore?
The options are:
a. 1
b. 2
c. 7
d. 8
The correct answer is c. 7. To determine this, you need to understand the concept of full and incremental backups. In this scenario, since incremental backups are taken on all other days, excluding Friday, you would need to restore the most recent full backup (Friday) and all subsequent incremental backups (6 days) to perform a full restore.
4. While discussing the development of a new backup strategy for your company, a colleague uses the term target. What is she referring to?
The options are:
a. The system hosting the tape drive
b. The backup device
c. The data object to be backed up
d. The media in the backup device
The correct answer is b. The backup device. To determine this, you need to understand the terminology used in backup strategies. The term "target" usually refers to the destination or storage device where the backup is being written or saved.
5. When you configure volume shadow copy, which of the following parameters cannot be configured?
The options are:
a. Which folders on the drive should be included in the volume shadow copy.
b. The drives that should be included in the volume shadow copy.
c. The maximum size of the storage area for shadowed files.
d. The frequency with which shadow copies should be made.
This question is difficult to answer without additional information or context. The correct option would depend on the specific capabilities and limitations of the volume shadow copy feature in Windows Server 2003.
6. After a system failure, you restart the system in Directory Services Restore Mode to restore Active Directory from a backup. You are prompted for a username and password, so you enter the username and password for the Administrator account, but you are unable to log on. You used the Administrator account the previous day, and the password has not been changed since then. What is the most likely cause of the problem?
The options are:
a. You must use the first password ever associated with the Administrator account.
b. You must use the username DSRESTORE and the Administrator account password to enter Directory Services Restore Mode.
c. You must use the restore mode password for the Administrator account that you specified when you installed Active Directory.
d. You must use an account other than Administrator that is a member of the Domain Admins group to enter Directory Services Restore Mode.
The correct answer is c. You must use the restore mode password for the Administrator account that you specified when you installed Active Directory. To determine this, you need to understand the requirements for entering Directory Services Restore Mode and how it relates to the Administrator account and Active Directory.
7. If you do a full backup to a single tape on a Friday night and then an incremental backup to a single tape on all other days of the week (including the weekend), and a system failure occurs on Monday morning, how many tapes are required to perform a full restore?
The options are:
a. 1
b. 3
c. 7
d. 8
This question is similar to question 3, and the answer would be the same. Since an incremental backup is taken on Monday morning, you would need to restore the most recent full backup (Friday) and all subsequent incremental backups (3 days) to perform a full restore. Therefore, the answer is b. 3.
8. If you are performing a full backup each Friday to a single tape and a differential backup to a single tape on all other days of the week (including the weekend), what is the minimum number of tapes required to accommodate seven days worth of backups?
The options are:
a. 2
b. 7
c. 8
d. 9
The correct answer is b. 7. To determine this, you need to understand the difference between full and differential backups. A differential backup includes all changes since the last full backup, so you would need 7 tapes to accommodate 7 days of backups (1 full backup tape + 6 differential backup tapes).
9. How does using the volume shadow copy feature of Windows Server 2003 help system administrators?
The options are:
a. It reduces the need to perform backups.
b. It allows multiple copies of a file to be written to different locations at the same time.
c. It reduces the amount of time that it takes to perform a backup.
d. It reduces the need to restore individual files from backup.
The correct answer is d. It reduces the need to restore individual files from backup. To determine this, you need to understand the purpose and benefits of the volume shadow copy feature. It creates point-in-time snapshots of files, allowing users to restore previous versions or individual files without the need for a full restore from backup.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions or need clarification on anything.
