Question

Yesterday, a disk drive containing your engineering departments project documents crashed. Fortunately, there was a backup, but all files that had been added or changed that day were lost. A new disk drive has to be purchased, and the data has to be restored. Several days of work time will be lost. Mr. Phoenix, the CEO of the company wants to know what can be done to prevent the loss of data and time if a disk crashes in the future. The server currently has two disks installed: one for the Windows boot and system volumes and one for project document files. The disk used for project document files is about one-third full. There is enough money in the budget to purchase up to two new drives if needed. What solution do you recommend, and why?

Answer 1

I recommend they purchase two new drives.

Step-by-step explanation:

When they purchase the new disk drives, the project documents should be backed up using one of the new drives(A) anytime it gets to half way full so that the project documents disk drive will not be pressured.

With the second new disk drive, it should be a backup to daily work data when work is done everyday(B), at the beginning of the day it will be refreshed of the new days data whiles the previous days data is moved to the project document files disk.

This will help when there is a crash. Because if disk B crashes the same data will be in the project document disk. And if the project document disk drive crashes the information can be found in disk A and disk B.
