C. The organization’s backup policy dictates what must be done to ensure data is backed up.
Which of the following determines the frequency of backups in an organization? (Choose two.) A. Time it takes to restore a backup B. Data criticality C. Time it takes to execute a backup D. Frequency of data change
B. D. The criticality of data and how often data changes are two factors that determine the frequency of data backups in an organization.
Which of the following basic backup types does not clear the archive bit on a file? A. Full B. Incremental C. Differential D. Partial
C. A differential backup does not clear the archive bit on a file.
Your business needs to be able to resume processing within 12 hours after a disaster. You are looking at alternate site options and decide that the site must have all utilities, redundant equipment, and daily data backups restored to the site. What type of alternate site have you decided to implement? A. Cold site B. Warm site C. Hot site D. Shared site
C. Given the desired timeframe to recover the business operations, and the level of equipment and support at the site the business needs, this would be a hot site.
You are evaluating several possible solutions for alternate processing sites for your business. You decide that you can afford the expense of a warm site and balance it against the time it will take to set up and recover the business operations to the site. Which of the following are characteristics of a warm site? (Choose two.)
A. Fully redundant equipment located at the site, loaded with the most current daily backups
B. Some equipment located at the site to begin limited operations
C. Heat, water, electricity, and communications in a standby mode
D. No utilities
B. C. A warm site is characterized by having heat, water, electricity, and communications, often in a standby mode, as well as having some equipment located at the site to begin limited operations during a recovery.
Which of the following alternate site options is best to use if the organization has limited resources and can afford to wait a longer period of time before recovering operations? A. Leased site B. Hot site C. Warm site D. Cold site
D. A cold site is the least expensive to acquire and maintain, but it should be used only if the organization has a longer tolerable downtime, because it offers very little other than floor space and requires a longer time to set up and use.
Which of the following statements best defines the recovery time objective (RTO)?
A. Minimum time the organization can be expected to be down during a disaster or incident
B. Minimum amount of data the organization is expected to lose during a disaster or incident
C. Maximum amount of data the organization can afford to lose during a disaster or incident
D. Maximum amount of time the organization can afford to be down from normal processing
D. The recovery time objective (RTO) is the maximum amount of time the organization can afford to be down from normal processing.
Which of the following is considered by the organization to be the maximum amount of data that can be lost during a disaster or incident? A. Recovery point objective (RPO) B. Mean time to restore (MTTR) C. Recovery time objective (RTO) D. Mean time to backup (MTTB)
A. The recovery point objective (RPO) is the maximum allowable amount of data (measured in terms of time) that the organization can afford to lose during a disaster or incident.
