Windows server 2012 Practice Test

The fixed role used primarily for the backup of files and system state in Windows Server 2012 is Windows Server Backup. This feature is specifically designed to offer a comprehensive solution for backing up and restoring Windows Server systems, enabling administrators to create backups of the entire server or specific volumes, files, and system states. It provides an easy-to-use management interface for configuring backup schedules, defining backup types, and performing restores when needed.

Windows Server Backup supports several backup strategies, including full server backup and incremental backups, ensuring efficient use of storage while still maintaining data integrity. This role is integral for disaster recovery plans to safeguard critical data against loss due to hardware failure, accidental deletion, or other unforeseen events.

While other options may pertain to related functionalities, they do not specifically target the same breadth of backup capabilities provided by Windows Server Backup. For example, File and Storage Services focus more on managing file shares and storage, while Backup and Restore Services is a reference term that can broadly encompass various backup functions, not specifically confined to the Windows Server environment. Data Recovery Services could imply a broader recovery strategy but does not denote a designated feature for backup in Windows Server 2012.
