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
