Read the first 7 Data Protection & Disaster Recovery Strategies flashcards as text

  1. A company uses the 3-2-1 backup rule. Which statement correctly describes this rule as implemented in Acronis?

    Answer: 3 copies of data, 2 on different media, 1 offsite

    The 3-2-1 rule mandates 3 copies of data stored on 2 different media types with 1 copy kept offsite for disaster resilience.

  2. In Acronis Cyber Protect, which backup scheme captures only the data that has changed since the last backup of any type, resulting in faster backups but a longer recovery chain?

    Answer: Incremental backup

    Incremental backups capture changes since the last backup of any type (full or incremental), making them fast to create but requiring the full chain for recovery.

  3. Which Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud DR feature allows administrators to test failover without impacting production systems?

    Answer: Test failover in isolated network

    Test failover spins up recovered servers in an isolated network so DR readiness can be verified without affecting live production environments.

  4. An Acronis engineer needs to recover a single email from an Exchange database backup without restoring the entire mailbox server. Which recovery method should be used?

    Answer: Granular recovery for Microsoft Exchange

    Acronis granular recovery for Microsoft Exchange allows extraction of individual emails, folders, or mailboxes directly from a backup without full server restoration.

  5. What does 'application-consistent backup' mean in the context of Acronis Cyber Protect?

    Answer: VSS or freeze/thaw mechanisms ensure application data is in a consistent state before capture

    Application-consistent backups use VSS (Windows) or freeze/thaw scripts to quiesce applications so data is captured in a transactionally consistent state.

  6. Which Acronis storage tier is designed for long-term archival of rarely accessed backup data at a lower cost?

    Answer: Cloud archive tier

    Acronis Cloud archive tier offers lower-cost storage optimized for long-term retention of infrequently accessed backup archives.

  7. During a disaster recovery failover in Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud, what is a 'recovery server'?

    Answer: A cloud VM pre-configured from a backup to become operational during failover

    A recovery server in Acronis DR is a cloud-based VM configured from a backup image that becomes active during a failover event.
