A.
System state data.
B.
System boot files.
C.
Server system component information
D.
Microsoft SQL Server database information.
Explanation:
To protect yourself from a server system failure, you should back up system state data so that you can use it when you need to perform a full server system restore. All important server system component information needed to restore the server system is included in the backup when you select to back up system state data in the Windows backup utility.
In addition to this, you need to specify that the backup includes all system boot files as well.
Incorrect Answers:
D: You should not use Windows backup utilities to back up Microsoft SQL Server files and database data. Microsoft SQL Server includes a specific backup utility which should be used to back up Microsoft SQL Server files and database data.
