Read the first 7 Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity flashcards as text

  1. A company's RTO is 4 hours and RPO is 1 hour. Which recovery strategy best satisfies both requirements?

    Answer: Warm site with hourly incremental backups

    A warm site with hourly incremental backups meets a 4-hour RTO (site can be activated within hours) and 1-hour RPO (maximum 1 hour of data loss).

  2. During a BCP tabletop exercise, a team discovers that a critical vendor cannot meet their stated SLA during a regional disaster. What is the BEST immediate action?

    Answer: Document the gap and update the BCP with contingency vendor options

    Tabletop exercises are meant to uncover gaps; the finding should be documented and the BCP updated with alternative vendor contingencies.

  3. What does the term 'failback' refer to in disaster recovery?

    Answer: Restoring operations to the primary site after it is recovered

    Failback is the process of returning production operations from the DR site back to the original primary site once it is restored.

  4. Which metric measures the probability that a system will be operational at any given point in time?

    Answer: Availability percentage

    Availability (often expressed as a percentage like 99.9%) measures the proportion of time a system is operational and accessible.

  5. A financial firm requires that no more than 15 minutes of transaction data can be lost in any disaster scenario. This requirement defines which DR metric?

    Answer: RPO

    RPO (Recovery Point Objective) defines the maximum tolerable amount of data loss measured in time, in this case 15 minutes.

  6. Which type of BIA output directly informs the prioritization order for system recovery during a disaster?

    Answer: Criticality ranking of business functions

    The criticality ranking produced by a BIA tells recovery teams which business functions and supporting systems must be restored first.

  7. An organization stores its DR plan exclusively on the internal network that goes offline during a disaster. What is the MOST serious problem with this approach?

    Answer: Recovery teams cannot access the plan when it is needed most

    A DR plan that is only accessible via systems that may be unavailable during the disaster defeats its own purpose; plans must be accessible offline or out-of-band.
