Why is it important to test and validate system recovery procedures?

To improve the performance of production systems

To ensure the recovery plan works as expected and meets RTO/RPO targets

To comply with software licensing requirements

To reduce the cost of backup storage

An organization runs a multi-tier application on several virtual machines. The application depends on a database VM and a web server VM. The database VM fails and needs to be restored. The backup solution uses application-consistent snapshots. What is the most important consideration when restoring the database VM to ensure the application works correctly?

Restore the database VM to a different network segment to avoid IP conflicts.

Restore the database VM using a crash-consistent snapshot to speed up the process.

Restore the database VM to the same host as the web server VM.

Ensure the database VM is restored to a point in time that is consistent with the web server VM's state.

A company uses a backup solution that supports automated recovery testing. They want to ensure that their backups are restorable without manually spinning up VMs. Which feature should they enable?

Automated restore testing that boots the backup in an isolated environment.

Scheduled backup jobs with email notifications.

Deduplication and compression to save storage space.

Replication to a secondary site for offsite storage.

An e-commerce company has a transactional database with an RPO of 5 minutes and an RTO of 1 hour. They currently take a full backup daily and transaction log backups every 15 minutes. During a disaster, they find that the last transaction log backup was 20 minutes ago, and the restore takes 2 hours. What is the primary issue?

The RTO is not being met because the restore takes 2 hours

The backup software is not automated

The full backup is too infrequent

The RPO is not being met because transaction log backups are not frequent enough

Which statement correctly defines Recovery Point Objective (RPO)?

The maximum acceptable amount of data loss measured in time

The frequency at which backups are tested

The maximum time allowed to restore a system after a failure

The minimum amount of storage required for backups
