Disaster Recovery

What is the primary purpose of a Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP)?

• To prevent all disasters from occurring.

• To detail how to resume operations after a disaster.

• To identify potential security vulnerabilities.

• To manage daily IT operations.

What does the Recovery Time Objective (RTO) measure?

• The amount of data lost during an outage.

• The time it takes to prevent a disaster.

• The time required to resume operations after an outage.

• The frequency of system failures.

What does the Recovery Point Objective (RPO) indicate?

• The total duration of system downtime.

• The maximum acceptable amount of data loss.

• The average time to repair a system.

• The cost of disaster recovery services.

Which metric helps predict how long it will take to fix a system after a failure?

• Recovery Point Objective (RPO)

• Recovery Time Objective (RTO)

• Mean Time To Repair (MTTR)

• Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF)

What is the final step in the site resiliency process after a problem has been addressed at the alternate processing site?

• Preparing the recovery site

• Synchronizing data to the alternate site

• Reverting back to the primary location

• Calling a disaster

Which of the following best describes a cold site for disaster recovery?

• An exact replica of the primary data center with all hardware and data

• A site with some infrastructure like power and racks, but requiring hardware and data to be brought in

• An empty building with no hardware or data, requiring everything to be transported

• A fully operational site that can take over immediately with a flip of a switch

What is a key characteristic of a hot site for disaster recovery?

• It is an empty building where hardware and data must be brought in

• It is a site with basic infrastructure, requiring only software and data to be loaded

• It is an exact replica of the primary data center, stocked with hardware and constantly updated applications and data

• It is a temporary location used for tabletop exercises

What is the primary purpose of a tabletop exercise in disaster recovery planning?

• To physically test the failover process to an alternate site

• To determine the logistics of a disaster response by talking through a simulated scenario

• To install and configure new hardware at a recovery site

• To perform scheduled updates and maintenance on production systems
