win server 2008 chapter 7

partition table

The ___ contains information about each partition created, such as the type of partition on MBR disks, size, and location

Disk Check

The ___ tool allows you to scan your disk for bad sectors and file system errors

boot partition

The ____ is the partition that contains the operating system files located in the \Windows folder

active partition

The ____ is the partition where your computer will look for the hardware-specific files to start the operating system (system partition)

false

The default backup configuration is to always perform incremental backups

custom

A ___ backup enables you to configure backups differently for each volume

volume

A ___ can be identified to users through a unique drive letter, such as C:

simple volume

A ___ is a portion of a disk or an entire disk that is set up as a dynamic disk

extended partition

A ___ is created from space that is not yet partitioned

mounted drive

A ___ is one that appears as a folder and is accessed through a path like any other folder

spanned volume

A ___ is stored on 2 to 32 dynamic disks that are treated as one volume

stripe set

A ___ is two or more disks that are combined like a volume set, but that are striped for RAID level 0 or RAID level 5

volume set

A ____ consists of two or more partitions that are combined to look like one volume with a single drive letter

storage area network (SAN)

A ____ is a grouping of storage devices that forms a subnet

home directory

A ____ is a server folder that is associated with a user's account and that is a designated workspace for the user to store files

full backup

A backup of an entire system

volume

A logical designation of disk storage that is created out of one or more physical disks

partitioning

A process that blocks a group of tracks and sectors to be used by a particular file system, such as NTFS

formatting

A process that creates a table containing file and folder information for a specific file system in a partition

dynamic disk

Does not use traditional partitioning

true

Configuring the backup performance options enables you to specify which types of backups to perform: full, incremental, and custom

true

Because a Windows Server 2008 Server Core server does not support GUI tools, wbadmin.exe is the only tool you can use to perform a backup from the Server Core command line

true

Because a basic disk uses traditional disk management techniques, it is partitioned and formatted, and can be set up to employ disk sets

Volume Shadow Copy Service

Created to make stable images of files and folders on servers based on the point-in-time when the image is made

1

Disk mirroring involves creating a shadow copy of data on a backup disk and is RAID level ___

false

For faster response when you plan a SAN, Microsoft recommends using fewer disks with more disk space instead of more disks with less disk space

backup schedule wizard

One way to ensure that backups take place is to use the ___ to regularly schedule backups

incremental backup

Only backs up files that are new or that have been updated

multipath I/O

Provides a means to establish multiple paths between a server and its disk storage

server manager

To use the Windows Server Backup tool that comes with Windows Server 2008, you need to install it using ___

basic disk

Uses traditional disk management techniques and contains primary partitions, extended partitions, and logical drives

device specific module (DSM)

When you install Multipath I/O, you also install the ___

1 MB

When you partition a disk, leave ___ or more of the disk space free

ocsetup windowsserverbackup

You can install wbadmin.exe in Server Core using the command: ___

shrinking

___ a volume enables you to create a new partition when one is needed and you don't have extra disks

formatting

___ creates a root directory (folder) and a volume label

Fibre Channel

___ is a subnetwork technology originally developed for mainframes but now is used primarily for SANs and enables gigabit high-speed data transfers

Virtual Disk Service (VDS)

___ is used to enable management of disk volumes in SANs through one interface at a server

fault tolerance

____ is the ability of a system to gracefully recover from hardware or software failure

dynamic disk architecture

____ provides more flexibility than basic disks so there is virtually no restriction on the number of volumes that can be on one disk
