Which Windows server service enables administrators to migrate data to a lower-cost tape media on file servers?

• A. Remote Storage Service
• B. Windows Deployment Services
• C. File Server Resource Manager
• D. Print Spooler

Answer: (A)

This item tests how Windows Server handles moving less-frequently accessed data to cheaper storage as part of storage management. Remote Storage Service is the feature that migrates data from the hard disk onto tape or other offline storage, leaving a placeholder on the local disk. Administrators can set policies to automatically move older or infrequently used files to tape, freeing up disk space. When a user accesses a moved file, the data is recalled from tape automatically. This provides cost savings on file servers while keeping data accessible. The other options serve different roles: Windows Deployment Services is for network-booting and deploying Windows images; File Server Resource Manager handles quotas, file screening, and storage reporting; Print Spooler manages print jobs and queues.
