When computers need to use more memory than have RAM, they'll swap out pages of memory to their drive. When they need those memory pages, they'll swap out others and swap in the needed ones. If a computer needs enough additionall memory, it can get so busy swapping that it doesn't have any (or very little) time to do any useful work. That is called thrashing.

Unix calls swapping swapping. Windows calls it paging, probably because of the memory pages. Memory pages are 4096 (4KB) sections of memory.

Unix drives are usually partitioned with a swap partition, and swap files can be made in the filesystem. Windows just has pagefiles[s].

Which of the following would allow for the QUICKEST restoration of a server into a warm recovery site in a case in which server
adelina 88 [10]

Answer: C. Differential backup

Explanation: There are several ways od ensuring the preservation and storage of data even cases of disaster, one of such ways is data data mirroring which allows data to be replicated or copied in real time and several backup options. In cases where there there is need to restore a server, the warm recovery site provides a data or disaster recovery option used to mitigate the effect of data loss on organization. In the absence of data mirroring, differential backup option, provides the quickest recovery option as it only requires changes in the data stored after the last full backup. These speed experieced should be expected due to the relatively low data been dealt with rather than the entire data.
