   A multinational corporation is planning a decentralized recovery architecture for its regional offices. Each office has its own backup server and storage. The company's recovery point objective (RPO) is 4 hours, and the recovery time objective (RTO) is 8 hours. The company is concerned about the administrative overhead of managing multiple backup servers. Which strategy would most effectively reduce administrative overhead without compromising the RPO and RTO?

   • AReduce the RPO to 24 hours to allow less frequent backups
   • BReplace the local backup servers with a centralized cloud backup service
   • CAssign a dedicated backup administrator to each regional office
   • DDeploy a centralized management console that can monitor and control all local backup servers remotely

   A mid-sized company is choosing between centralized and decentralized recovery. They have a small IT team, a uniform server environment, and a limited budget. They want to minimize management complexity and cost. Which factor most strongly favors centralized recovery in this scenario?

   • ACentralized recovery scales more easily than decentralized recovery
   • BCentralized recovery provides better fault tolerance because there is only one recovery management point
   • CCentralized recovery eliminates the need for network bandwidth planning
   • DCentralized recovery reduces administrative overhead by consolidating management and backup infrastructure

   A financial services firm is designing a recovery solution for its trading platform. The platform is critical and has a recovery time objective (RTO) of 15 minutes and a recovery point objective (RPO) of 5 minutes. The firm has two data centers in the same metropolitan area connected by a low-latency dedicated link. The IT team is centralized and highly skilled. The firm is considering a centralized recovery architecture with synchronous replication to the secondary site. Which additional consideration is most critical to ensure the solution meets the RTO?

   • AThe secondary site must be at least 100 miles away to protect against regional disasters
   • BThe backup software must support cross-platform recovery
   • CThe recovery runbook must be tested regularly to ensure the failover process can be completed within 15 minutes
   • DThe secondary site must have identical hardware to the primary site
