You are responsible for configuring and maintaining the backup jobs for a SQL Server 2005 computer. Backup files are written to a tape drive that is connected to the database server. In the future, your department will install a new backup server. Then backup files will be written to disk on the new server. To simplify maintenance, you need to configure the backup jobs so that minimal changes will be necessary to back up to the new server.
What should you do?

A.
Configure the backup jobs to write to an internal disk. When the new backup server is available, alter the backup jobs.

B.
Configure the backup jobs to write to backup devices that reference the tape drive.
Alter the backup devices to point to the new backup server after the new server is installed.

C.
Configure the backup jobs to write directly to the tape drive. Move the tape drive to the new backup server.

D.
Configure the backup jobs to write to an internal disk. Alter the backup jobs to use backup devices after the new server is in place.

Explanation:
Backup Device – A predefined pointer to a backup location. Instead of dynamically specifying a tape or disk location within the backup command, a backup device assigns a name to the physical location, and this name can then be reused.
