What should you recommend?

You are designing a recovery solution for file servers that run Windows Server 2008 R2. File servers
have the operating system and settings on volume C and shared data on other volumes. The
recovery solution must meet the following requirements:
• Create restorable point-in-time copies of files stored in shared folders on the file servers.
• Provide users the ability to compare versions of an open file.
You need to design a recovery solution that meets the requirements. What should you recommend?
(More than one answer choice may achieve the goal. Select the BEST answer.)

A.
Enable the windows Server Backup feature and schedule a backup of the shared folders on the file
servers.

B.
Enable Shadow Copies on all file server volumes.

C.
Enable the Windows Server Backup feature and schedule a backup of the file server system state
data.

D.
Enable Shadow Copies on only file server volumes that contain shared folders.

Explanation:

Windows Server 2008 Volume Shadow Copy is a mechanism whereby the contents of shared folders
can be automatically backed up at pre-determined intervals to a shadow volume. Once
implemented, shadow copy will backup the previous 64 versions of each file in the shadowed
volume and provide users with the ability to restore files from any of the previous 64 versions
without administrator intervention, enabling users to independently restore deleted, damaged or

overwritten files. In addition to restoring individual files to a previous version, shadow copy also
provides the ability to restore an entire volume.
The requirement is to enable this on shared folders only so answer D meets this requirement best.
