A system administrator is configuring a new Windows server that must maintain data integrity during unexpected power failures. Which of the following file systems should the administrator choose to meet this requirement?
NTFS, because of its journaling capability
Ext4, because it can handle large volumes of data
HFS+, because it is used by modern Apple hardware
FAT32, because of its high compatibility with other operating systems
NTFS (New Technology File System) is the correct choice because its journaling feature is specifically designed to maintain data integrity and allow for rapid recovery after a system crash or power failure. It keeps a log of changes that are about to be made, ensuring the file system can be restored to a consistent state. FAT32 does not support journaling, making it unsuitable for a server where data integrity is critical. Ext4 is a journaling file system for Linux and is not natively supported by Windows. HFS+ is the file system used by Apple's macOS and is also not a suitable option for a Windows server.
