Backing up project libraries protects against which risk?

• A. Software updates
• B. Hardware failure
• C. Power outages
• D. User error

Answer: (B)

Backups serve as a safety net for your work. By keeping a separate copy of your project library on another drive or in the cloud, you can recover quickly if the primary storage fails. A hardware failure—like a drive crash or corruption—can lose access to your projects, but with a backup you can restore and continue without starting from scratch. That’s why backing up project libraries protects against hardware failure. While backups don’t prevent the failure itself, they minimize downtime and data loss when it happens.
