What does Recovery Time Objective (RTO) define?

The time between two full backups

The maximum acceptable time to restore systems after a disaster

The minimum time required to perform a backup

The maximum acceptable amount of data loss measured in time

A company's DR plan has not been tested in three years. The new network administrator wants to validate the plan without disrupting production. Which testing approach is most appropriate for this situation?

Perform a full failover to the disaster recovery site during peak business hours.

Restore a single server from backup in the production environment without prior testing.

Conduct a tabletop exercise where key stakeholders walk through the plan step by step in a meeting.

Delete the DR plan and create a new one based on current infrastructure.

How does disaster recovery support business continuity?

By guaranteeing no data loss in any scenario

By focusing only on IT recovery and ignoring business processes

By eliminating the need for business continuity planning

By restoring critical systems and data to minimize downtime

A manufacturing company is updating its disaster recovery plan. The risk assessment identifies that a regional flood could disable the primary data center, which also hosts the only copy of the company's critical design files. Which additional control would most directly reduce the impact of this identified risk?

Increase the frequency of on-site full backups from weekly to daily.

Implement a stricter password policy for all network administrators.

Purchase additional fire suppression equipment for the primary data center.

Store encrypted backups of the design files at a geographically separate site.

What is a key characteristic of an incremental backup?

It only backs up data that has changed since the last backup (full or incremental)

It requires the least number of tapes to restore

It backs up all data every time regardless of changes

It backs up data changed since the last full backup only
