To ensure that backup data is usable and accurate, the administrator should perform backup verification and test restorability. Backup verification involves confirming that the backup was completed successfully and that the data is accurate and complete. Testing restorability involves restoring data from the backup and verifying that the data is usable and accurate.
Labeling media for all backups and securing backup in a safe location are also important measures to ensure the integrity of backup data. Labeling media can help the administrator to quickly identify the correct backup media when restoring data. Securing backups in a safe location can help prevent data loss in the event of a disaster or security breach.
Keeping all backups onsite close to the server, as suggested in option D, is not recommended as it can lead to data loss in the event of a disaster or security breach that affects the server and its backups. Backups should be stored offsite or in a secure, fireproof location to ensure their availability in the event of a disaster.
