Which of the following backup methods is most appropriate for off-site archiving?

A.
Incremental backup method

B.
Off-site backup method

C.
Full backup method

D.
Differential backup method

Explanation:
All data should be archived. A full backup copies all the data from the system to the backup medium. After the
full backup has finished, the backup media is physically transported to another off-site location.
Incorrect Answers:
A: Archiving should copy all the data, but an incremental backup copies only the files that have been modified
since the previous backup.
B: There is no special off-site backup method. Instead use a standard full backup and transport the backup
media to the other site.
D: Archiving should copy all the data, but a differential backup copies only the difference in the data since the
last full backup.
