Question 10/20
Explanation: When you run a full backup, the files are marked as having been backed up (the archive attribute is
cleared). When a file is created or changed, it is marked as 'not backed up' (the archive attribute is set). A
differential backup backs up any files created or changed since the last full backup (the files
marked as 'not backed up'). It does not mark files as having been backed up (in other words, the archive
attribute is not cleared).

C: A full backup backs up all files and marks them as having been backed up by clearing the archive attribute.
D: A copy backup backs up all files but does not mark them as having been backed up.
