Ask yourself which one of these is not like the other. It's not because it is wrong. Backups in preparation for a disaster have limited functionality if you don't check whether they work and can be restored successfully. You need to implement back up testing to make sure when a disaster strikes that it can be restored SUCCESSFULLY. Without that you won't know if they can be restored successfully. Need to do audits and testing. They aren't asking where it should be stored or what kind to do.

Based on the wording, I agree. Testing would ENSURE they could be restored.

Selected Answer: C
How can you make sure that "data can be successfully restored"? By regularly testing the backups to make sure they are working properly!

I agree with JE39. Answer is C. More than one of the backup options would work (file-level, cloud storage). However, if you don't do regular backup testing then you have no idea if those backups will even be successful. The question is "what should be implemented to BEST ensure the company's data can be successfully restored", not what is the best way to backup data. How do we ensure it will be successfully restored to whatever backup is used? Perform regular testing on that said backup plan.

100% Back up to the cloud storage is the answer.

https://darbytechforce.com/uncategorized/whats-the-difference-between-file-level-and-image-level-backup/#:~:text=What%20is%20file%20level%20backup,Dropbox%2C%20or%20Microsoft%20Office%20Drive. Terminology schmerminology. A is actually the 'better' answer in CompTIA World as file-level backups is associated exclusively with cloud backup. If you know what file-level backups are, you'll zero in on that as the 'better' answer. This is one of the less deceitful questions in the exam library.

D) Cloud storage makes sense as it holds your data off-site and is known to be mostly reliable (in case of natural disaster, off-site storage would prevent issue) C) Also holds merit as testing backups will ensure they are actually functional, but if it is a case where the disaster affects on-site data, then backup testing won't help -- but the question is worded weirdly in the sense that 'what should be IMPLEMENTED to ensure data CAN be restored'. I can see it being C from the wording, but also D due to other questions with similar answers. Tricky wording on this question.

Then again, when looking more into this: File-level backups does contain the component of backing up to the cloud, which would render D redundant. This would leave A and C as the answers. If we're looking at restoring data, then I'd say A would ensure it is available when disaster strikes. You take backups of the files on a system (image-level is the entire image) and store them in the cloud, similarly to how Google Drive has a backup and sync component that backs up files and saves them to their cloud storage. A is the answer from what I can see.
