A company's policy requires that all workstations have a full backup of their operating system once a month. As an IT support technician, you are evaluating a backup plan to ensure that in the event of a system crash, the workstation can be restored to its last operational state with minimal data loss. Which of the following is the most important step to ensure adherence to the company’s backup policy?
Manually start the backup process at the end of every week.
Check that there is enough available storage space on the server every day.
Reinstall the operating system bi-monthly as a precaution.
Create a schedule for automatic backups to be performed monthly.
Creating a schedule for automatic backups ensures that the backup process occurs at regular intervals, complying with the company's monthly full backup policy. This reduces the risk of human error from forgetting to perform the backup manually. While verifying the processes and checking available space are also good practices, they do not directly ensure backups are executed as per the policy schedule. Reinstalling the operating system would not be related to the backup process itself but is rather an action taken after a system failure where a backup might be needed.
