A backup software heavily uses hard links between files which have not been changed in between two backup runs. Which benefits are realized due to these hard links? (Choose two.)
A backup software heavily uses hard links between files which have not been changed in between two backup runs. Which benefits are realized due to these hard links? (Choose two.)
The primary benefits of using hard links in backup software are that they save disk space and make the backup process faster in certain conditions. Hard links allow multiple directory entries to point to the same data on the disk, eliminating the need to store redundant copies of unchanged files, thus consuming less space. Furthermore, during the backup process, creating hard links involves only updating the file system metadata rather than copying the actual data, which speeds up the backup process. This does not involve asynchronous operations or guarantee that hard-linked files cannot be modified after creation. Hard links cannot reference files across different file systems, so they cannot be used to link files on tapes or other different storage media.
I think the right answer here is D and E
A is wrong. A hard link can't reference a file in a different file system.
I believe D and E is correct. A tape has a completely different filesystem to Linux so it would be wrong.
D and E are correct
D an E, agreed
I think so , D and E are the correct answers.
Answer A and D is correct
U obviously have no understanding of hard links, A would be correct if was soft-symbolic links..Hardlinks cannot cross different FS
As said, D&E get the point :)
A, B and C are wrong about hard link
is Correct
I typet the question in GPT-3 and the answer is D and E
D and E definitely.
A is wrong, the correct answers are D & E
A is a lie: hardlinks cannot reside in different filesystems B: I don't know C: lie: a hardlink can be modified as long as the inode number is same as the "original file", (which is really the original index entry to the data)
Other options are not correct.
not A , cause hardlink cannot reside in different filesystems
