You need to use the Backup utility to back up all data on a file server three times per day. Files that are currently opened by applications must not be backed up. Which of the following should you do?
  1. Run a differential backup.
  2. Run an incremental backup.
  3. Run a full backup.
  4. Disable volume shadow copies.
Explanation
Answer - D - You should disable volume shadow copies.

Key Takeaway: Backup program will back up any open files when volume shadow copies are enabled. This is done by temporarily freezing the application running the file while it backs it up. You can prevent open files from being backed up by disabling volume shadow copies. When performing a backup, the Windows Server 2003 Backup utility by default creates a volume shadow copy, which is a duplicate of the volume at the time the copy process began.
