CRP Technology Recovery Procedures 2

Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

Recovery Point Objective (RPO)

Answer

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

Question 2

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

Accepted Answer

Failure to test backup restoration procedures

Answer

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

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

Has pre-installed and configured systems ready for immediate use

Answer

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

Question 4

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

Accepted Answer

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

Answer

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

Question 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?

Accepted Answer

Asynchronous replication

Answer

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