This lesson supports FC0-U71 5.0 on CompTIA Tech+ FC0-U71. The public page gives the basic concept for free; the app adds tracking, quizzes, and weak-area practice.
Key concepts
Concept 1
Storage locations: on-site vs off-site, cloud backups
Storage locations: on-site vs off-site, cloud backups. Regular data backups protect against data loss from accidental deletion, hardware failure, malware, or disasters. Backup Types: - Full Backup: Backup of all selected data. Easiest to restore. Takes longest, uses most storage. - Incremental Backup: Only data changed since last backup of any type. Fast backups, efficient storage. Slower restore (need full + all incrementals). - Differential Backup: Everything changed since last full backup. Grows larger each day. Restore needs only full + latest differential. Backup Schedules: Common: weekly full + daily incrementals. Grandfather-Father-Son rotation keeps multiple generations. On-site vs Off-site: - On-site: Same location as data. Quick access.
