An IT technician is tasked with setting up a backup solution for a small business with critical data. Which strategy most accurately follows the 3-2-1 backup rule?
One copy of the data stored on-site and one copy stored off-site.
Two copies of the data: one local on-site and one off-site.
Three copies of the data: two local on-site copies on different devices and one off-site copy.
Three copies of the data stored solely on different devices within the same location.
The 3-2-1 backup rule advises keeping three copies of data, storing two copies on different storage media, and one copy off-site. This approach minimizes the risk of data loss due to hardware failures, disasters, or other unforeseen events. Answer choices that do not include all components of this rule (three total copies, two different media, one off-site) are incorrect.
