For each application, fill in details for the following general steps:

  • Acquire and install the application.
  • Scan computers.
  • Review scan results.
  • Identify issues you need to address.
  • Document the steps to address each issue.

Question 2

Scenario

One of the security improvements at Always Fresh is setting up a system recovery procedure for each type of computer. These procedures will guide administrators in recovering a failed computer to a condition as near to the point of failure as possible. The goal is to minimize both downtime and data loss.

You have already implemented the following backup strategies for workstation computers:

Consider the following for a computer that encounters a disk drive failure or some other error that requires restoration:

  • How much data has been modified between the last backup and the time of failure?
  • What images are necessary to recover the workstation?
  • What are the steps necessary to fix the problem that cause the data loss?
  • What steps should Always Fresh take to avoid a reoccurrence of this issue in the future?

Tasks

Create a procedure guide that describes the necessary steps for recovering a desktop workstation computer. Fill in details for each of the following steps:

  • Describe the processes of:
    • Fixing the problem that caused the failure in the first place. Keep the description of this process general. Just address the problem and ensure the recovery process starts with a functional computer.
    • Restoring the newly repaired computer to a base workstation.
    • Restoring local data for the specific workstation that failed.
  • Provide the steps to follow for each of the restore operations. Assume you will be using the Windows Backup and Restore utility.
