<div>I thought backing up was the best (or least worst) option to begin with, but Mark's discussion leads me to think vcaa should award a mark for archive or backup responses.<br>

<div>Hi thrillseekers</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I refer you to SD exam 2016, A6.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>AFAIK, during an OS update, existing OS files are COPIED to a folder like 'old' and then DELETED from the computer. That qualifies as an
<b>archive</b> since the original copy is deleted after being copied elsewhere.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Yet the question insists that "the updating software creates a new folder called ‘OperatingSystem.old’ and
<i>copies </i>some of the computer’s files to that folder".</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My old mum always taught me that<i> copying</i> files and <i>retaining the original</i> is a
<b>backup</b>.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I believe the question is flawed. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Logic says that old OS files are moved (copied, then the original is deleted) - which is an archive. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>But the wording of the Q definitely says that original files are <i>copied</i> <i>-
</i>which is a backup.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div>So - who wins?</div>
