Question 1

What is the main objective of disaster recovery planning?

Accepted Answer

To ensure quick recovery and minimize downtime after a disaster

Answer

The main objective of disaster recovery planning (DRP) is to prepare an organization to respond effectively to unforeseen events that disrupt business operations, such as natural disasters, cyberattacks, or major system failures. DRP focuses on establishing procedures and technologies to quickly restore critical IT systems and data, thereby minimizing downtime, reducing data loss, and ensuring business continuity.

Question 2

Which type of backup strategy involves taking a full backup and then only backing up changes?

Accepted Answer

Incremental backup

Answer

An incremental backup strategy involves taking a full backup initially, and then subsequently backing up only the data that has changed since the *last* backup (which could be a full or another incremental backup). This method is efficient in terms of storage space and backup time because it only captures new or modified data. However, restoring requires the full backup and all subsequent incremental backups in the correct order.
