Why you need to configure the local group.
Actually there is a domain. Why can’t it be configure domain local group??
Answer should be “A”. Provided that the question states about a single server while there are many servers on the domain (as an assumption). I believe the answer is correct in that manner.
Again an intentionally malformed set of answers that isn’t really to test your knowledge but more aimed at confusing you. The ability to backup a system is arranged through the local groups. So while a domain groups can be used, they have to be added to the local group for the proper right or have special right arranged. While adding someone to the administrator group does the job as well, it isn’t required nor desired.
“To use Windows Server Backup, you must be a member of the Backup Operators or Administrators group, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority.”
