What should you do?
A．Copy the Sales folder to the Corp folder. Do nothing further.
B．Backup the Sales folder. Move the Sales folder to the Corp folder.
C．Compress the Corp folder. Then copy the Sales folder to the Corp folder.
D．Move the Sales folder to a second computer. Then move the Sales folder to the Corp folder.
参考答案
正确答案：B
解析：Explanation: The contents of the Sales folder should be backed up so that files would be recoverable in case of disk problems. You could move the Sales folder to the CORP folder, as the files will remain compressed since the folder is moved within a single partition. The general rules on copying and moving compressed files and folder are: files and folders copied within a NTFS volume and between NTFS volumes inherit the compression state of the target folder; files and folders moved between NTFS volumes inherit the compression state of the target folder; and files and folders moved within an NTFS volume retain the original compression state of the file or folder.
Incorrect Answers:
A: A folder copied within an NTFS partition will inherit the compression state of the target folder. This will result in the Sales folder inheriting the uncompressed state of the CORP folder since the target folder is uncompressed. Furthermore, you are also required to ensure that the folder contents are recoverable in the event of a system failure. This solution does not make provision for the recovery of the folder.
C: A folder copied within an NTFS partition will inherit the compression state of the target folder. This will result in the Sales folder losing its compressed state since the target folder is uncompressed. Compressing the CORP folder is also not a viable solution, as the scenario explicitly requires you to retain the uncompressed state of the files in the CORP folder. Furthermore, you are also required to ensure that the folder contents are recoverable in the event of a system failure. This solution does not make provision for the recovery of the folder.
D: Files and folders that are moved between NTFS partitions inherit the compression state of the target folder. Therefore the Sales folder might lose its compression state. Furthermore, moving the Sales folder twice is unnecessary as this will not ensure recoverability of the files in the Sales folder.
