To improve the speed of the backup process

To verify that the backup data can be successfully restored when needed

To free up storage space on the backup media

In a disaster recovery plan, what does RTO (Recovery Time Objective) represent?

The frequency at which backups are taken

The maximum time allowed to restore systems and resume operations after a disaster

The minimum amount of backup storage required

The maximum amount of data loss that is acceptable

What is the primary purpose of performing regular data backups?

To free up disk space by removing old files

To protect against data loss by creating recoverable copies of data

To encrypt all stored data automatically

To improve the processing speed of the computer

A manufacturing company's production line relies on a local server for inventory management. The server is backed up nightly to an external drive. A fire destroys the server room, and the external drive is also destroyed. The company loses two days of inventory data and cannot ship orders for three days while a new server is set up. Which improvement would have most effectively reduced the impact of this disaster?

Perform backups twice a day to the same external drive.

Use a larger external drive to store more backups.

Replace the server with a more reliable model.

Store a second copy of the backup off-site, such as in a cloud service.
