   A company runs a critical application on a VM that is replicated to a secondary site using asynchronous replication. The primary site fails, and the IT team activates the replica VM at the secondary site. After activation, they notice that the application data is slightly stale (about 10 minutes old). The RPO is 15 minutes, so the data loss is acceptable. However, the application is not functioning correctly because the replica VM's network configuration is different. What should the IT team do to get the application running?

   • AFail back to the primary site immediately.
   • BUse a backup to restore the VM to the secondary site and then apply the replica's data.
   • CUpdate the network configuration on the replica VM to match the secondary site's network.
   • DRestore the application from the last backup instead of using the replica.

   A company has a critical physical server running a custom application that is no longer supported by the vendor. The server has failed, and the hardware is obsolete. The company has a bare-metal backup of the server. The IT team wants to recover the server as a virtual machine on their hypervisor. The backup tool supports P2V conversion. However, the application requires a specific hardware dongle that is connected to the physical server. What is the most important consideration when performing the P2V recovery?

   • AEnsure the VM has enough virtual CPUs and memory to match the physical server.
   • BPerform a test restore to ensure the VM boots correctly.
   • CVerify that the application will work without the physical dongle, or use a virtual dongle emulator.
   • DConvert the backup to a VM format that is compatible with the hypervisor.

   What is a common method for validating that a system recovery was successful?

   A company has a large file server with 10 TB of data. They currently perform a full backup every weekend and differential backups every night. The RTO is 8 hours, and the RPO is 24 hours. The restore time for a full backup is 6 hours, and the restore time for a differential backup is 2 hours. The company is considering switching to incremental backups to reduce backup time. What is the impact on the restore time?

   • ARestore time will be unpredictable and cannot be estimated
   • BRestore time will decrease because incremental backups are smaller
   • CRestore time will increase because you need to restore the full backup and all incremental backups since the last full backup
   • DRestore time will remain the same because the full backup is the same
