Question

what is an example of a safe system for backing up files?
(1 point)
saving all files to a drive other than c:
saving files only to usb sticks
periodically copying data to a different machine
storing data entirely online in the cloud

Explanation:

A safe backup system should protect against multiple failure points: local drive failures, physical damage to a single device, and cloud outages. Saving to a non-C drive only protects against C drive failure but not device loss/damage. USB sticks are prone to loss, damage, or failure. Storing only in the cloud risks data loss if cloud services fail or are inaccessible. Periodically copying data to a different machine provides off-device redundancy, protecting against local hardware failure, loss, or damage, making it a more robust safe backup method.

Answer:

C. Periodically copying data to a different machine
