A hospital's patient portal must be available 24/7. The hospital's disaster recovery plan has an RTO of 1 hour and an RPO of 15 minutes. The current backup strategy uses nightly full backups to tape. During a recent test, restoring the portal from tape took 4 hours. The hospital has a limited budget and cannot build a second data center. Which solution best meets the RTO and RPO requirements?

Perform full backups every 15 minutes to tape.

Increase the RTO to 4 hours to match the tape restore time.

Use a cloud-based disaster recovery site with continuous replication and automated failover.

Switch to differential backups on a local NAS and restore from there.

Which of the following is a key element of a business continuity plan that is supported by a disaster recovery strategy?

Choosing the color scheme for the company website

Defining the order in which business functions should be restored

A video production company edits large 4K video files. The editors need to access project files quickly during the day, but the company wants to keep a long-term archive of completed projects. The company has a limited budget. Which backup media combination best meets both needs?

Use only external hard drives for both active editing and long-term archive.

Use tape for active editing and external drives for archive.

Use a NAS for active project files and tape for long-term archive.

Use only cloud storage for both active and archived files.

A company's disaster recovery plan specifies an RTO of 8 hours and an RPO of 24 hours. The plan uses daily full backups to an off-site cloud service. During a disaster, the IT team discovers that restoring the entire system from the cloud takes 12 hours. What is the most appropriate action to bring the plan into alignment with the stated RTO?

Perform backups every 12 hours to reduce the amount of data to restore.

Switch to incremental backups to reduce the restore time.

Implement a cloud-based disaster recovery site with pre-configured virtual machines and automated failover.

Increase the RTO to 12 hours to match the actual restore time.

A company's business continuity plan requires that the order processing system be available within 2 hours of a disaster and that no more than 30 minutes of orders be lost. The IT team is evaluating backup solutions. Which solution is most appropriate?

A cloud-based backup service that captures changes every 15 minutes and supports rapid restore to virtual machines

A weekly full backup stored on an external hard drive

A nightly full backup with transaction log backups every hour

A daily differential backup stored in a different building
