A company's disaster recovery plan specifies an RTO of 4 hours and an RPO of 1 hour for its customer database. The current backup solution is a nightly full backup with transaction log backups every 30 minutes. During a recent test, the restore took 6 hours. What should the company do to meet the RTO?

Increase the frequency of transaction log backups to every 15 minutes

Implement a standby database server with log shipping to reduce restore time

Use a faster backup storage device

A company's disaster recovery plan includes a full backup every Sunday and differential backups on other days. On Wednesday, a server fails. The administrator restores the Sunday full backup and then the Wednesday differential backup, but the restored data is missing changes made on Tuesday afternoon. What is the most likely cause?

The full backup from Sunday was taken before the changes were made

The administrator should have restored the Monday differential backup first, then the Wednesday differential

The Tuesday differential backup was not taken or was corrupted

The administrator should have restored the Tuesday differential backup instead of the Wednesday one

A company's backup strategy uses a full backup on Sunday and incremental backups on other days. On Thursday, a server fails. The administrator restores the Sunday full backup and then the Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday incremental backups in order. The restore completes, but some files are missing. What is the most likely cause?

The administrator should have restored the Thursday incremental backup as well

The administrator should have restored the Wednesday differential backup instead of the incrementals

One of the incremental backups was corrupted or incomplete

The full backup was taken before the files were created
