A regional bank processes customer transactions throughout the day. After a ransomware attack, leadership approves a disaster recovery plan with an RPO of 15 minutes and an RTO of 4 hours. The bank currently performs a full backup every Sunday at 2:00 AM and incremental backups every night at 2:00 AM. Which backup strategy change best aligns with the stated RPO?

Move to differential backups every 12 hours and a full backup every Sunday.

Perform a full backup every morning and an incremental backup every evening, keeping both for one year.

Increase the frequency of incremental backups to every 6 hours, with a full backup weekly.

Switch to continuous database log shipping to a secondary site, with nightly full backups retained for 30 days.

Which of the following is a typical component of a disaster recovery plan?

A list of emergency contacts and roles

A list of employee performance reviews

A detailed map of the office layout

A marketing strategy for customer retention

A company's disaster recovery plan has an RTO of 6 hours and an RPO of 1 hour. During a recent test, the recovery took 5 hours, but the data was restored from a backup that was 4 hours old. Which statement accurately evaluates the test results?

The test met the RTO but failed the RPO, so the plan needs improvement in backup frequency or replication.

The test results are inconclusive because the backup was not verified for integrity.

The test met both the RTO and RPO, so no changes are needed.

The test failed both the RTO and RPO, so the plan must be completely rewritten.

What is the primary purpose of a disaster recovery plan in network operations?

To provide a legal defense against liability after a data breach

To prevent all possible network failures from occurring

To document procedures for restoring IT infrastructure and data after a disruptive event

To replace the need for regular backups

What is the first step in restoring data from a backup after a system failure?

Rebuild the operating system from scratch

Verify the integrity of the backup media

Delete all existing data on the system
