DRI Technology Recovery Procedures 3

Question 1

When prioritizing system recovery during a disaster, which factor should be weighted most heavily?

Accepted Answer

Criticality to core business functions

Answer

Recovery prioritization should be driven by criticality to core business operations, ensuring the most essential systems are restored first to minimize business impact.

Question 2

What is a technology recovery 'dependency map' used for?

Accepted Answer

Identifying interconnections between systems so recovery is sequenced correctly

Answer

A dependency map illustrates how systems rely on each other, enabling recovery teams to restore systems in the correct order to avoid cascading failures.

Question 3

Which cloud deployment model is most commonly used to provide rapid scalability during a disaster recovery activation?

Accepted Answer

Public cloud (IaaS)

Answer

Public cloud IaaS allows organizations to rapidly provision compute and storage resources on demand during DR activation without capital investment in standby hardware.

Question 4

A company discovers that its DR backups are stored in the same building as the primary data center. What risk does this create?

Accepted Answer

The same physical disaster could destroy both production data and backups simultaneously

Answer

Co-locating backups with the primary data center means a fire, flood, or physical disaster at that location could eliminate both production data and all recovery copies.

Question 5

In database recovery, what is the purpose of transaction logs?

Accepted Answer

To record all database changes, enabling point-in-time recovery

Answer

Transaction logs record every change made to a database, allowing recovery teams to replay transactions and restore the database to any specific point in time.
