   A company has multiple branch offices, each with its own backup server and recovery procedures. One branch office experiences a fire that destroys its backup server. What is the impact on recovery operations in other branches?

   • AOther branches are unaffected because each branch operates independently
   • BOther branches are affected because they rely on the same backup server
   • COther branches are affected because they share backup storage
   • DOther branches are affected because they need to coordinate recovery procedures

   A company is comparing centralized and decentralized recovery. They note that centralized recovery has a single management console, while decentralized recovery uses multiple independent consoles. Which statement accurately describes a key difference in fault tolerance?

   • ABoth approaches have identical fault tolerance because they use the same backup software
   • BCentralized recovery has higher fault tolerance because all recovery operations are coordinated
   • CDecentralized recovery has higher fault tolerance because the failure of one recovery point does not affect others
   • DCentralized recovery is more fault tolerant because it uses a single backup repository

   • BCentralized recovery using a single backup server and management console
   • CCentralized recovery with multiple backup consoles for redundancy
   • DDecentralized recovery with each department managing its own backups

   A mid-sized company with 200 servers in a single data center is designing a recovery solution. The company has a recovery time objective (RTO) of 2 hours and a recovery point objective (RPO) of 15 minutes. The storage team wants to use a centralized backup server that writes to a deduplication appliance. The network team warns that the current 1 Gbps link between the backup server and the storage array is already at 80% utilization during peak hours. What is the most important consideration when implementing this centralized recovery solution?

   • AThe backup window must be scheduled during off-peak hours to avoid saturating the network link
   • BThe network link must be upgraded or the backup architecture must be adjusted to handle the required backup frequency without impacting production traffic
   • CThe backup server must be placed in a different building to ensure physical separation from the primary data center
   • DThe deduplication appliance must be replaced with a tape library to reduce storage costs

   A company with 40 servers across two nearby data centers runs a uniform Windows Server environment. The IT team has a small staff and wants to minimize administrative overhead while ensuring consistent recovery procedures. Which recovery approach best meets these requirements?

   • ACentralized recovery with each server storing its own backup locally
   • BDecentralized recovery with independent backup repositories at each data center
   • CCentralized recovery managed from a single backup console with centralized storage
   • DDecentralized recovery with each server administrator managing backups for their own servers
