Learn IT backup administration by outlining backup categories, covering network attacks, and mastering full, incremental, and differential backups, plus file-level versus block-level strategies.
Configure and deploy full weekly backups using Comodo Backup to a Toshiba external hard drive network attached storage, scheduling the backup for Friday evenings to avoid network congestion.
Configure daily incremental backups that copy only files changed since the last full or incremental backup by tracking the archive bit and schedule at 7:00 in the evening.
Set up differential backups that only back up files with the archive bits set to 1, saving time versus full backups; schedule at 7 p.m. after business hours.
Explore file level backups, how modified files are flagged for the next Friday after-hours backup with an archive flag, and how the archive resets after the full backup.
discover how block level backups store files as blocks, track block addresses, and back up only modified blocks to speed up backups when the archive bit is set.
Explore restoring full weekly backups, incremental backups, and differential backups, including archive bit behavior and the correct restore order to recover systems after failures.
Back up and restore system drivers using DriverMax, selecting drivers from device manager. Create backups for ethernet, display, and print drivers, then restore missing drivers as needed.
