Exam SK0-005 topic 1 question 56 discussion

I think D is correct. Only a scheme has been created. No backups have been taken yet so you cannot so a test restore.

This should be C

The correct answer is: C. Run a restore test 🔍 Explanation: Once a new backup scheme has been configured, the most critical step is to verify that you can successfully restore data from the backup. Backups are only useful if they can be restored reliably when needed. ✅ Why C. Run a restore test is correct: It validates the backup process. Ensures that data can be recovered in case of an actual failure or disaster. Helps identify misconfigurations in the backup process early.

By doing C you are testing D and more.

. If a new backup scheme has been configured but no actual backups have been taken yet, then checking the media integrity (option D) would indeed be a suitable action to take. This ensures that the backup media (such as tapes, disks, etc.) is reliable and can be trusted for future backups. Running a restore test (option C) would typically be done after actual backups have been taken to ensure that the restoration process works correctly.

Once a new backup scheme has been configured, a server administrator should run a restore test. A restore test involves restoring data from the backup to ensure that the backup is working correctly and that the data can be successfully restored in the event of a disaster. Running a restore test is an important step in verifying that the backup scheme is properly configured and that the backups are reliable.

cccccccccccccc

I am going with Answer D. Sure, a test (C) is also needed, and may very well work, but you need to verify media integrity and confirm it is not in need of replacement. The very first thing in the All-In-One Server+ book "after" mentioning picking out a scheme (backup solution), is to verify media integrity.

D seems correct.
