Answer / guest
Answer: B
Backup procedures are designed to restore programs and data
to a previous state prior to computer or system disruption.
These backup procedures merely copy data and do not test or
validate integrity. Backup procedures will also not prevent
changes to program and data. On the contrary, changes will
simply be copied. Although backup procedures are a necessary
part of the recovery process following a disaster, they are
not sufficient in themselves.
