   A hospital system is implementing a centralized recovery solution for its electronic health record (EHR) system. The EHR is critical and has a recovery time objective (RTO) of 30 minutes. The hospital has a main data center and a secondary site connected by a dedicated 10 Gbps link. The backup server is located at the main data center and replicates to the secondary site. What is the most important factor to validate before relying on this solution?

   • AThe secondary site has a fire suppression system
   • BThe 10 Gbps link is sufficient to replicate all changes within the recovery point objective (RPO)
   • CThe secondary site has enough storage capacity to hold the replicated data
   • DThe backup server is running the latest version of the backup software

   A university with 10 departments, each running the same standard image of Windows workstations and a shared file server, needs a recovery solution. The central IT department has three administrators who manage all systems. The university wants to minimize administrative overhead and ensure consistent recovery procedures. Which recovery approach is most appropriate?

   • ADecentralized recovery with each department managing its own backups
   • BCentralized recovery with each department responsible for initiating its own restores
   • CDecentralized recovery with each department using a different backup vendor
   • DCentralized recovery managed by the central IT department, using a single backup solution for all departments

   A healthcare provider is implementing a recovery solution for its patient portal. The portal is hosted on a virtualized infrastructure with 50 VMs. The provider has a recovery time objective (RTO) of 1 hour and a recovery point objective (RPO) of 30 minutes. The IT team is small and has limited virtualization expertise. The provider is considering a centralized recovery solution using a single backup appliance. Which factor is most likely to cause the solution to fail to meet the RTO?

   • AThe backup appliance is located in the same rack as the virtual hosts
   • BThe backup appliance has a single network connection to the storage network
   • CThe backup software does not support the hypervisor's native snapshot API
   • DThe virtual hosts are from different hardware vendors

   A company is comparing centralized and decentralized recovery. They note that centralized recovery has a single backup repository, while decentralized recovery has multiple repositories. Which statement accurately describes a scalability difference?

   • ACentralized recovery scales more easily because all backups are in one place
   • BBoth approaches scale equally because they use the same backup software
   • CDecentralized recovery scales more easily because additional repositories can be added as needed
   • DCentralized recovery scales better because it requires less storage
