NAS Recovery Course - NAS Recovery Preparations Test

You need to check sector sizes for each disk form a NAS when

array type has been changed
disks of different models are used in a NAS
a client does not remember what sector sizes he/she set up when installing disks

Check those S.M.A.R.T. attributes pointing to the bad condition of a disk

Check what you should ask a client about a NAS configuration

whether a client used disks of the same model in a NAS
whether a client ever added disks
whether a client ever replaced disks
whether a client changed an array type

Check what information you can get if you know a NAS vendor and exact NAS model

When recovering a NAS, it is always better to create disk image files rather than disk clones

true
false

Why they do not recommend storing several disk image files on the same disk when recovering data?

recovery will be too slow
the disk may degrade due to the frequent read requests

What helps you determine a sector size for disks partitioned with GPT?

GPT database
EFI PART signature
main MBR
EXT i-node

The sum of partition sizes should be close to the size of a physical disk with both MBR and GPT disks

false
true

Choose the advantage of disk clones compared to disk images

speed
reliability
convenience in storage and archival
