Question #: 75
Topic #: 1
[All 101-500 Questions]

A backup software heavily uses hard links between files which have not been changed in between two backup runs. Which benefits are realized due to these hard links? (Choose two.)

  • A. The old backups can be moved to slow backup media, such as tapes, while still serving as hard link target in new backups.
  • B. The backup runs faster because hard links are asynchronous operations, postponing the copy operation to a later point in time.
  • C. The backup is guaranteed to be uncharged because a hard linked file cannot be modified after its creation.
  • D. The backup consumes less space because the hard links point to the same data on disk instead of storing redundant copies.
  • E. The backup runs faster because, instead of copying the data of each file, hard links only change file system meta data.

A is wrong. A hard link can't reference a file in a different file system.

A is a lie: hardlinks cannot reside in different filesystems B: I don't know C: lie: a hardlink can be modified as long as the inode number is same as the "original file", (which is really the original index entry to the data)

I believe D and E is correct. A tape has a completely different filesystem to Linux so it would be wrong.
