Answer: C
The management team at a healthcare organization is concerned about being able to access the daily vital records if there is an IT disaster that causes both servers and the network to be offline. Which of the following backup types can the organization use to mitigate this risk?
Answer: D
Tricky question. If servers and network is down, how do we access "VITAL" information? Only way is print. I have worked in organizations that print out critical and vital information and store them in safe's just in case the network and servers go down.

A server administrator notices the /var/log/audit/audit.log file on a Linux server is rotating too frequently. The administrator would like to decrease the number of times the log rotates without losing any of the information in the logs. Which of the following should the administrator configure?
Answer: A
B is the exact OPPOSITE of what is being requested. By decreasing the duration of the rotate cycle, you will end up creating more logs. C would just stop creating additional logs, defeating the purpose of log rotation. D doesn't change the fact that logs are being created too frequently, it just puts them somewhere else. So the only viable answer is A - increase the audit.log file size in the appropriate configuration file.

A server administrator needs to harden a server by only allowing secure traffic and DNS inquiries. A port scan reports the following ports are open: 443 636 Which of the following open ports should be closed to secure the server properly? (Choose two.)
Answer: AC
21 - FTP 22 - SSH 23 - Telnet 53 - DNS 443 - HTTPS 636 - LDAPS There are 3 ports which not secure and need to close 21, 23, 53 but the server provide DNS inquiries, so we don't close port 53.

Which of the following backup types copies changed data from a server and then combines the backups on the backup target?
Answer: C
C. Synthetic full. This is a type of backup that copies changed data from a server and then combines the backups on the backup target. A synthetic full backup is a backup type that creates a full backup from an existing full backup and subsequent incremental backups. A synthetic full backup does not require accessing the source data again, but only the backup data that is already stored on the backup target. A synthetic full backup offers the benefits of reducing the backup window, network traffic, and storage space while providing faster and easier recovery than incremental backups.

A server administrator is taking advantage of all the available bandwidth of the four NICs on the server. Which of the following NIC-teaming technologies should the server administrator utilize?
Answer: C
C. Load balancing Load balancing NIC-teaming technology allows the server to distribute network traffic across multiple network interfaces (NICs) to take advantage of all available bandwidth. This results in increased network throughput and improved performance. Load balancing distributes incoming network traffic evenly across the active NICs, preventing any single NIC from becoming a bottleneck.

Which of the following licensing models is MOST appropriate for a data center that has a variable daily equipment count?
Answer: A
ChatGPT now says per site, and reading about it, it would probably make the most sense: Per site licensing is a licensing model where a single license covers the use of software or services across an entire physical location, such as a data center, office building, or campus. This model is particularly advantageous for organizations with large or variable numbers of devices or users, as it simplifies license management and can be more cost-effective than other models. Per server would have to be adjusted all the time, which just can't work if changes are daily. Per user of course makes no sense. Per core also makes no sense, it's used for licensing on the software level, like Hypervisors.

While running a local network security scan, an administrator discovers communication between clients and one of the web servers is happening in cleartext. Company policy requires all communication to be encrypted. Which of the following ports should be closed to stop the cleartext communication?
Answer: A
To stop cleartext communication with a web server, you would want to close port 80, which is the standard port for HTTP (cleartext web traffic). However, port 80 is not listed in your options. From the options given: A. 21 - FTP (File Transfer Protocol, typically cleartext) B. 22 - SSH (Secure Shell, encrypted) C. 443 - HTTPS (HTTP Secure, encrypted) D. 3389 - RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) The correct answer to stop cleartext communication would be: A. 21 (FTP) However, since the question specifically mentioned web servers, it's possible there might be a mistake in the options provided, as port 80 (HTTP) would be the most appropriate choice for web server cleartext communication.
