IS3110 CHAP 14 Flashcards
A technology that allows an organization to access required service over a public network, such as the Internet. Organizations often contract with third party vendors to provide services using this.
Cloud computing
An alternate location used for disaster recovery. This is an available building. It has electricity, running water, and restrooms. None of the equipment or data is staged at a cold site. It is inexpensive to maintain. However, it takes a lot of effort to get functional.
Cold site
The procedures to bring a system back into service after it has failed. This occurs after a disaster. Steps are documented in a plan that is a part of a business continuity plan.
Disaster recovery
An alternate location used for disaster recovery. This site include all the equipment and data necessary to take over business functions in a short period of time. It will be able to assume operations within hours and sometimes minutes and are very expensive to maintain.
Hot site
A technology that allows a single physical server to host multiple virtual servers. This save money in hardware and facility costs. It can be used for disaster recovery because it can be copied as a file and easily moved to a different location.
Virtualization
An alternate location used for disaster recovery. It usually includes most of the equipment needed for operations. However, data will need to be updated. Management is able to match the desired cost with an acceptable amount of time for an outage by using this.
Warm site
- A(n) ___ is a plan used to restore critical business functions to operation after a disruption or disaster.
Disaster recovery plan (DRP)
- A DRP has multiple purposes. This includes saving lives, ensuring business continuity, and recovering after a disaster.
TRUE OR FALSE
TRUE
- Disaster recovery and fault tolerance are the same thing.
TRUE OR FALSE
FALSE
- A ___ is an element necessary for success. For example, the success of a DRP depends on elements such as management support and a disaster recovery budget.
Critical success factor (CSF)
- A business impact analysis (BIA) includes a maximum allowable outage (MAO). The MAO is used to determine the amount of time in which a system must be recovered. What term is used in the DRP instead of the MAO?
- Critical business function (CBF)
- DRP action item (DRPAI)
- Recovery action item (RAI)
- Recovery time objective (RTO)
Recovery time objective (RTO)
- A certain DRP covers a system that hosts a large database. You want to ensure that the data is copied to an off-site location. What could you use?
- Data replication
- Electronic vaulting
- Remote journaling
- All the above
Data replication
Electronic vaulting
Remote journaling
- A copy of backups should be stored ___ to ensure the organization can survive a catastrophic disaster to the primary location.
Off-site
- You are considering an alternate location for a DRP. You want to minimize costs for the site. What type of site would you choose?
- Cold site
- Warm site
- Hot site
- DRP site
Cold site
- You are considering an alternate location for a DRP. You want to ensure the alternate location can be brought online as quickly as possible. What type of site would you choose?
- Cold site
- Warm site
- Hot site
- DRP site
Hot site
- You are considering an alternate location for a DRP. You want to use a business location that is already running non-critcal business functions as the alternate location. This location has most of the equipment needed. What type of site is this?
- Cold site
- Warm site
- Hot site
- DRP site
Warm site
- Which of the following elements are commonly included in a DRP?
- BCP, BIA, communications, recovery steps and procedures
- BCP, backup plans, recovery steps and procedures
- Purpose, scope, communications, recovery steps and procedures
- Purpose, scope, CIRT activation, recovery steps and procedures
Purpose, scope, communications, recovery steps and procedures
- You are considering using a hot site as an alternate location. You want to consider different technologies to keep the data updated and decrease the time it will take for the hot site to become operational. what are some technologies that may help?
- Data replication
- Cloud computing
- Virtualization
- All the above
- 1 and 2 only
Data replication
Cloud computing
Virtualization
- Of the following, what is critical for any DRP?
- Third-party backup software
- Budget
- Alternate locations
- Fuel for generators
Budget
- Your organization has created a DRP but it hasn’t been tested. Which of the following methods can you use to test it?
- Desktop testing
- Simulation testing
- Full-blown DRP testing
- All the above
Desktop testing
Simulation testing
Full-blown DRP testing
- Once a DRP has been created, it is not necessary to update it.
TRUE OR FALSE
