Read the first 7 Technology Recovery Procedures flashcards as text

  1. Which metric defines the maximum tolerable amount of data loss measured in time during a technology recovery scenario?

    Answer: Recovery Point Objective (RPO)

    RPO defines the maximum age of data that must be recovered from backup storage for normal operations to resume after a disaster.

  2. During a technology recovery exercise, a team discovers their backup tapes cannot be read. What process failure does this most likely indicate?

    Answer: Failure to test backup restoration procedures

    Unreadable backup tapes typically reveal that restoration procedures were never tested, a critical gap in backup verification.

  3. A hot site differs from a warm site primarily because a hot site:

    Answer: Has pre-installed and configured systems ready for immediate use

    A hot site has fully configured hardware and software with current data, enabling near-immediate failover with minimal activation time.

  4. What is the primary purpose of a Technology Recovery Plan (TRP) in contrast to a broader Business Continuity Plan (BCP)?

    Answer: To provide step-by-step technical instructions for restoring IT systems and infrastructure

    A TRP focuses specifically on the technical steps to restore IT systems, whereas a BCP addresses broader business operational continuity.

  5. Which storage replication method transmits data to a remote site only after the primary system acknowledges the write, risking data loss if the link fails?

    Answer: Asynchronous replication

    Asynchronous replication acknowledges writes at the primary before transmitting to the secondary, creating a potential data loss window if the link fails.

  6. During technology recovery, which document should be consulted first to determine the sequence in which systems must be brought back online?

    Answer: System dependency map

    A system dependency map shows interdependencies between applications and infrastructure, guiding the correct restoration sequence.

  7. A company's critical database server fails. The team restores from last night's backup (18 hours old). Which concept describes the 18-hour gap in recoverable data?

    Answer: RPO breach

    The 18-hour gap between the backup and the failure represents the actual data loss, which may exceed the organization's defined RPO.
