Natasha is eager to protect her files. every time she saves a file to her project folder, she saves a copy to a subfolder labeled "backup files," which she stores within the main project folder. one day, a virus appears on her computer, corrupting all the files in her project folder. natasha doesn't stress over it because she has an extra copy of all her files in the subfolder. however, when natasha goes to retrieve the backup files in the subfolder, she discovers they have all been corrupted as well.
what should natasha have done differently?
a. natasha should have asked a co-worker to store the files in one of their folders.
b. natasha should have stored the backup files on a different server, or on an ftp, where the virus would not likely have reached them.
c. natasha should have put the backup files in their own folder on the server, not within a subfolder.
d. natasha should have labeled the subfolder "do not delete" instead of "backup files."
