What is the primary purpose of a bare-metal restore?

To migrate a virtual machine to a different hypervisor

To restore a system to a new or blank hardware without a pre-installed operating system

To recover individual system state components like registry and boot files

To restore only user data files to an existing operating system

A company's physical server running a legacy application has failed. The server is no longer under warranty, and replacement parts are hard to find. The company has a bare-metal backup of the server. They decide to recover the server as a virtual machine on their existing hypervisor. Which approach should they use?

Install the OS on a new VM and then restore the data from the backup.

Perform a bare-metal restore to a new physical server with similar hardware.

Use a physical-to-virtual (P2V) conversion tool to convert the bare-metal backup to a virtual machine.

Mount the backup image as a virtual disk and attach it to a new VM.

A company runs a web application on two virtual machines (VMs) in a cluster. One VM fails, and the administrator restores it from a backup taken 6 hours ago. After the restore, the application is not working correctly because the restored VM has an older configuration than the other VM. What should the administrator do to ensure the application works correctly after recovery?

Fail over the application to the other VM and ignore the restored VM

Restore the other VM from the same backup to ensure both are consistent

Update the restored VM's configuration to match the current settings of the other VM

Delete the restored VM and create a new one from the current template

A disaster recovery coordinator is updating the runbook for a critical application. The runbook currently lists the steps to restore the application from backups, but it does not include the contact information for the vendor support team. During a recent test, the recovery team encountered an issue that required vendor assistance, and they wasted 30 minutes searching for the contact. What should the coordinator do to improve the runbook?

Train the recovery team to memorize vendor contacts

Use a generic contact email for all vendor issues

Remove the vendor support step from the runbook to avoid confusion

Add vendor contact information and escalation procedures to the runbook
