A healthcare organization must retain patient records for 7 years per regulation. The records are accessed occasionally for treatment and legal purposes. The organization currently uses a backup solution that retains data for 30 days. The compliance officer wants to ensure records are available for 7 years without impacting the backup system's performance. Which strategy should be implemented?

Implement a data archiving solution to move patient records older than 30 days to long-term storage.

Extend the backup retention policy to 7 years for all patient records.

Store patient records on the same backup tapes and keep them for 7 years.

Delete patient records after 30 days and rely on the backup system for recovery.

Compared to a full backup, what is a primary advantage of using incremental backups?

Reduced storage space and backup time

What does the Recovery Point Objective (RPO) define in a data recovery strategy?

The minimum frequency of backup testing required

The target time required to restore systems after a disruption

The maximum acceptable amount of data loss measured in time

The total storage capacity needed for all backups

An organization sets an RPO of 4 hours for a critical database. What does this mean?

The database must be restored within 4 hours of a disruption

The maximum acceptable data loss is 4 hours of database transactions

Backups must be retained for at least 4 hours

The database must be continuously replicated to a secondary site
