Question 1

A ____ consists of two or more partitions that are combined to look like one volume with a single drive letter.
A) logical volume
B) volume set
C) volume group
D) disk set

Accepted Answer

A volume set refers to a method of combining the storage capacity of two or more physical disks or partitions into a single logical volume, which is then accessible via a single drive letter. This allows for more efficient use of disk space and easier data management.

Question 2

A ____ is a portion of a disk or an entire disk that is set up as a dynamic disk.
A) dynamic volume
B) basic volume
C) simple volume
D) primary volume

Accepted Answer

C

Question 3

The ____ is the partition that contains the operating system files located in the \Windows folder.
A) boot partition
B) primary partition
C) extended partition
D) active partition

Accepted Answer

The boot partition is the partition that contains the operating system files required for the system to boot. It is usually located in the primary partition and contains the \Windows folder where the operating system files are located. The primary partition contains the boot loader, system files, and the file system. The extended partition is used to create logical partitions, and the active partition is the partition that is currently being used for booting the system.

Question 4

A ____ is one that appears as a folder and is accessed through a path like any other folder.
A) mounted folder
B) mounted drive
C) dynamic folder
D) linked folder

Accepted Answer

The answer of A ____ is one that appears as...

Question 5

The ____ is the partition where your computer will look for the hardware-specific files to start the operating system (system partition).
A) primary partition
B) extended partition
C) startup partition
D) active partition

Accepted Answer

The active partition is the partition where the computer will look for the hardware-specific files to start the operating system. The primary partition is a basic partition that can be used to boot an operating system and can contain data files, but it does not necessarily contain the hardware-specific files needed to start the system. An extended partition is a type of partition that can be subdivided into logical partitions to create additional drive letters. A startup partition is not a commonly used term in reference to partition types.

Question 6

____ provides more flexibility than basic disks so there is virtually no restriction on the number of volumes that can be on one disk.
A) Virtual disk architecture
B) Dynamic disk architecture
C) Flexible disk architecture
D) Extensible disk architecture

Accepted Answer

Dynamic disk architecture provides more flexibility than basic disks, allowing for an almost unlimited number of volumes to be created on a single disk. Virtual disk architecture and flexible disk architecture are not commonly used terms in the context of disk management, and there is no widely recognized concept of "extensible disk architecture."

Question 7

A(n)____ is created from space that is not yet partitioned.
A) primary partition
B) active partition
C) extended partition
D) secondary partition

Accepted Answer

An extended partition is created from space that is not yet partitioned and can contain multiple logical drives.

Question 8

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.

Accepted Answer

Microsoft generally recommends using more disks to spread out the I/O load, which can improve performance in a Storage Area Network (SAN) environment, rather than fewer, larger disks which might become bottlenecks due to their limited I/O capabilities.

Question 9

The default backup configuration is to always perform incremental backups.

Accepted Answer

The default backup configuration varies depending on the system or software being used; some may default to full backups, while others might default to incremental or differential backups.

Question 10

Disk mirroring involves creating a shadow copy of data on a backup disk and is RAID level ____.
A) 0
B) 1
C) 2
D) 5

Accepted Answer

Disk mirroring involves creating an exact copy (or shadow copy) of data on a backup disk, which is RAID level 1. RAID level 0 is striping, RAID level 2 is rarely used, and RAID level 5 is striping with parity.

Question 11

When you partition a disk,leave ____ or more of the disk space free.
A) 1 MB
B) 2 MB
C) 3 MB
D) 4 MB

Accepted Answer

1 MB is the minimum amount of free disk space that should be left when partitioning a disk.

Question 12

____ creates a root directory (folder)and a volume label.
A) Formatting
B) Partitioning
C) Labeling
D) Initializing

Accepted Answer

Formatting a disk involves creating a file system in a partition or volume, which includes creating a root directory where files can be stored. It also allows for the assignment of a volume label, which is a name given to the storage volume. Partitioning divides a disk into sections but does not create a file system or root directory. Labeling and initializing refer to other processes that do not encompass both creating a root directory and assigning a volume label.

Question 13

____ is the ability of a system to gracefully recover from hardware or software failure.
A) Risk tolerance
B) High availability
C) Fault tolerance
D) Network load balancing

Accepted Answer

Fault tolerance is the ability of a system to continue operating in the event of a failure of one or more of its components. It involves both hardware and software redundancy, so that if one component fails, another takes its place to ensure uninterrupted service. High availability (B) is a related concept, but it only refers to the ability of a system to remain operational with minimal downtime, not necessarily in the face of failure. Risk tolerance (A) refers to an organization's willingness to accept risk, which is not directly related to system reliability or recovery. Network load balancing (D) is a method of distributing network traffic across multiple servers, but it does not deal with system recovery or redundancy.

Question 14

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

Accepted Answer

Configuring backup performance options does indeed allow you to specify which types of backups to perform, including full, incremental, and custom backups.

Question 15

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

Accepted Answer

The statement is true. Basic disks can be partitioned and formatted using traditional disk management techniques, and can also be set up to employ disk sets.

Question 16

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.

Accepted Answer

Since GUI tools are not supported in Windows Server 2008 Server Core, the only option to perform backups is using command-line tools like wbadmin.exe.

Question 17

The ____ tool allows you to scan your disk for bad sectors and file system errors.
A) Disk Utility
B) Disk Check
C) Device Manager
D) Volume Manager

Accepted Answer

Disk Check (often referred to as CHKDSK in Windows environments) is the tool designed to scan for and fix disk errors, including bad sectors and file system errors.

Question 18

A ____ is stored on 2 to 32 dynamic disks that are treated as one volume.
A) spanned volume
B) striped volume
C) mirrored volume
D) concatenated volume

Accepted Answer

A spanned volume allows for the combination of space from more than one physical disk into one logical volume, which can involve anywhere from 2 to 32 dynamic disks, without any data redundancy or performance improvement.

Question 19

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.
A) primary folder
B) profile directory
C) personal directory
D) home directory

Accepted Answer

A home directory is the main folder associated with a user's account on a server, where they can store and organize their files. It is also sometimes referred to as a home folder. The other options are not commonly used terms for this type of folder.

Question 20

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.
A) RAID set
B) volume set
C) partition set
D) stripe set

Accepted Answer

A stripe set is created by combining two or more disks like a volume set, but the data is distributed evenly across the disks in a striped pattern for RAID level 0 or RAID level 5.
