Based on the scenario given, the customer needs a Windows backup solution that ensures all company data is backed up and quickly recoverable every time a change is made. Therefore, the technician is likely to recommend a backup solution that offers both data backup and recovery capabilities. Two recommended solutions are:

  1. File Level Backup: This backup solution allows you to back up individual files or folders. It is typically used to restore specific files or folders in case they are accidentally deleted, corrupted, or infected with malware. File-level backups are usually faster and require less storage space than image-level backups.

  2. Image Level Backup: This backup solution creates a complete image of a hard drive or a system partition, including the operating system, software applications, and user data. Image-level backups are typically used to restore an entire system or to migrate the system to a new hardware platform. Image-level backups are slower and require more storage space than file-level backups.

Therefore, the technician is most likely to recommend a backup solution that combines both file-level and image-level backups, such as a snapshot or shadow copy solution.

Snapshot: This backup solution captures the state of a system or a data set at a specific point in time. Snapshots can be used to restore data to a specific point in time or to create a backup of a live system without interrupting its operation.

Shadow Copy: This backup solution is a feature of Windows that allows you to create point-in-time copies of files or volumes. Shadow Copy can be used to restore individual files or to roll back an entire volume to a previous state.

Therefore, the technician is most likely to recommend Snapshot or Shadow Copy as the backup solution to ensure all company data is backed up and quickly recoverable every time a change is made.
