Question 4 • Computer Science Foundations

Which of the following are good backup methods you can use to protect important files and folders from loss in the case of a hard drive failure? Check all of the boxes that apply.

Answer
A
Back up files in the cloud.
B
Back up files on CDs and DVDs.
C
Back up files on the computer’s internal memory.
D
Back up files on an external hard drive or jump drive.

Explanation

A good backup is stored somewhere separate from the computer’s failing hard drive. Cloud storage, CDs or DVDs, and an external hard drive or jump drive can preserve copies of important files. The computer’s internal memory is not a reliable backup because it may be lost along with the computer’s storage in a failure.
