Read the first 7 Storage, Retrieval & Security Management flashcards as text

  1. What is the key difference between a backup and an archive in document management?

    Answer: Backups support recovery from failure; archives preserve records for long-term retention

    Backups are for operational recovery after data loss, while archives preserve records for long-term compliance and historical reference.

  2. In access control for a document imaging system, what is a Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) model?

    Answer: Access permissions assigned to roles that are then assigned to users

    RBAC assigns permissions to defined roles (e.g., clerk, manager, auditor) and users inherit those permissions by role membership.

  3. Which standard defines requirements for electronic records management systems used in government and regulated industries?

    Answer: DoD 5015.2

    DoD 5015.2 is the Department of Defense standard for records management application design, widely adopted in government and regulated sectors.

  4. What does 'disaster recovery point objective (RPO)' define in a document storage context?

    Answer: The maximum acceptable amount of data loss measured in time

    RPO defines how far back in time data can be lost during a disaster—e.g., an RPO of 4 hours means up to 4 hours of document changes may be lost.

  5. Which encryption approach protects documents while they are stored on disk, regardless of who accesses the storage media?

    Answer: Encryption at rest

    Encryption at rest protects stored data by encrypting it on the storage medium, so stolen or improperly accessed media remains unreadable.

  6. A company needs to retrieve a specific version of a contract signed three years ago. Which system feature makes this possible?

    Answer: Document version history with timestamped snapshots

    Version history stores point-in-time snapshots of documents with timestamps, enabling retrieval of any prior version.

  7. Which technique reduces storage space by identifying and eliminating duplicate data blocks across a document repository?

    Answer: Deduplication

    Deduplication identifies identical data blocks or files and stores only a single copy, with pointers replacing redundant copies.
