All servers on the Certidea.com network run Windows Server 2003 and all client computers run Windows
XP Professional.
The Certidea.com network contains a member server named PAS54SURE-SV8.
You run differential backups of Certidea-SV8 every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights.
You also run a normal backup every Friday night.
Prior to installing a new application on Wednesday, you first perform a copy backup of Certidea-SV8.
