[HIDE]I believe the answer is C[/HIDE]

 

I'll go with [HIDE]C: daily, weekly, monthly. GFS stands for "grandfather, father, son". Here's the reference: http://www.makeitwork.be/docs/MS-Backup-GFS-BackupRotation.htm[/HIDE]

 

I'll take a [HIDE]C[/HIDE]

 

Ahhh now this one i know im sure.. keeps cropping ip on the practice papers im using...

[HIDE]C) Daily, weekly and monthly backups[/HIDE]

Of course if im wrong i only got 2 weeks to correct it lol!!

 

[HIDE]A -Grandfather,Father,Son backup![/HIDE]

 

Well - I'd say that if I had to pick just one it would be [HIDE]C. But note that the order is reversed, I've always thought of the Grandfather as the least frequent one, so it ought to be SFG! And again - in my day GFS didn't make any statement about the *actual* frequency of backups, so should in theory include answer A. The only annual backup I've ever encountered was for auditing purposes, so I decided for C[/HIDE]

Now let's see what sort of mess I made of that....

Harry.

 

I think it is . . . . . . .

[HIDE]A[/HIDE]

But knowing me, I could well be wrong.

 

[HIDE]I will go for C please [/HIDE]

 

I'll have a pint of [HIDE]D[/HIDE] please Si

 

Oh Cr@p! With the excellent Network+ quiz thats going on I forgot to post the answer to this one!

The answer ic C by the way, the key word in the question was that backups are carried out daily.

No more Q's until The great Network+ quiz is finished!
