Q

what should a technician do if he is unable to complete a change within an approved maintenance window?

A

Rollback the change

17
Q

what provides fault tolerance and can ensure systems to continue to operate after a disaster?

A

Redundancy

18
Q

what is the term for combining multiple physical ports on a switch to a single virtual port?

A

port aggregation

19
Q

assuming backups are performed daily, what type of backup plan minimizes the amount of time needed to restore backups?

A

Full with differential backups

a full backup every day would also minimize the amount of time needed to restore backups, but performing full backups daily is typically not feasible

20
Q

assuming backups are performed daily, what type of backup plan minimizes the amount of time needed to perform backups?

A

Full with incremental backups

21
Q

what continuity of operations site is the cheapest?

22
Q

what continuity of operations site provides the shortest recovery time?

23
Q

what provides an estimate of the amount of time it would take to restore a failed system?

A

MTTR (mean time to recover)

24
Q

what provides a measure of a system’s reliability and would provide an estimate of how often it is likely to experience an outage?

A

MTBF (mean time between failures)

SLA
27
what would you use to compare current network performance with past network performance to identify any changes?
Baseline
28
where would you find the correct configuration settings for a server that was recently changed?
