Why is it useful to keep a data backup in a different location?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Data can be recovered if the main device or original data is damaged
A separate backup can remain available if the primary device is lost, damaged, infected, stolen, or fails. Keeping copies only on the same device is risky because one incident may affect both the original and the backup. Backups do not remove passwords or automatically shrink files, and they should still be updated regularly. Thus A is correct.
