    Explanation
    A full backup takes the longest to restore from because it includes all the data and files on a system. This means that during the restoration process, all the data needs to be copied back onto the system, which can be time-consuming. In contrast, incremental and differential backups only include the changes made since the last backup, making the restoration process quicker. The option "Procrastinatal" is not a valid backup type and can be disregarded.

    What RAID level is mirrored with parity so that if one drive fails the data can be rebuilt?

    • RAID 0

    • RAID 1

    • RAID 3

    • RAID 5

    • No such RAID exists

    Correct Answer
    A. RAID 5
    Explanation
    RAID 5 is the correct answer because it uses both striping and parity. In RAID 5, data is striped across multiple drives and parity information is also distributed across the drives. This means that if one drive fails, the data can be rebuilt using the parity information from the remaining drives. RAID 0 does not have any redundancy, RAID 1 is a simple mirroring without parity, RAID 3 uses dedicated parity drive, and no such RAID level exists is not a valid option.

    What is the maximum length that a USB cable can be?

    • 1 meter

    • 5 meters

    • 4.5 meters

    • 4 meters

    • 10 meters

    Correct Answer
    A. 5 meters
    Explanation
    USB cables have a maximum length of 5 meters due to limitations in the USB specification. Beyond this length, the signal may degrade and cause data loss or errors. To extend the length further, USB repeaters or hubs can be used to amplify the signal. However, using longer cables or excessive extensions can result in unreliable connections or slower data transfer speeds.
