Selected Answer: A
Reviewing the backup logs can provide evidence that backups are being performed according to schedule and that they are completing successfully. The logs typically record the start time, completion time, and status of each backup job, along with any error messages or alerts that may have been generated during the backup process. By reviewing a sample of backup logs, the auditor can confirm that backups are being performed on a regular basis and that any backup failures are being promptly addressed.
