How are critical parts of the MFT protected?

  1. Encryption

  2. Cloud Backup

  3. Backed up in middle of disk

  4. Redundant arrays

The correct answer is: Backed up in middle of disk

Critical parts of the MFT (Master File Table) are at risk of getting corrupted or damaged, so it's important to have reliable protection methods in place. Option A, encryption, is a useful security measure, but it does not specifically target MFT protection. Option B, cloud backup, is a form of data backup but does not guarantee protection for critical parts of the MFT. Option D, redundant arrays, can help with data redundancy but it does not specifically focus on protecting the MFT. Therefore, Option C, backing up in the middle of the disk, is the most appropriate answer as it ensures that the MFT is stored in a central and protected location on the disk. This helps to prevent potential damage or loss of critical MFT components.
