A company uses a backup solution that supports both agent-based and agentless backups for VMs. The agentless backup uses VMware snapshots and is faster, but it does not guarantee application consistency. The agent-based backup ensures application consistency but requires installing an agent in each VM. The company has a critical SQL Server VM. They need to meet an RPO of 15 minutes and an RTO of 1 hour. Which backup approach should they use for the SQL Server VM?

Use agentless backups because they are faster and meet the RPO.

Use both agentless and agent-based backups to have redundancy.

Use agent-based backups because they ensure application consistency, which is critical for databases.

Use agentless backups and rely on SQL Server's own backup feature for consistency.

What is the primary purpose of system recovery in the context of disaster recovery planning?

To restore IT systems to a functional state after a disruptive event

To monitor system performance and optimize resource usage

To replace all hardware components with newer models

To prevent any data loss from occurring during normal operations

A domain controller in a multi-site Active Directory environment failed. The administrator restores it from a system state backup that is 2 days old. After the restore, the domain controller starts, but it cannot replicate with other domain controllers. What is the most likely cause?

The domain controller's clock is out of sync

The domain controller's network adapter is disabled

The domain controller's DNS settings are incorrect

The restored domain controller has a stale tombstone, causing replication conflicts

What is a key benefit of using automated recovery tools?

Reduced recovery time and human error

Elimination of the need for backups

Removal of the need for testing

A domain controller in a small organization failed and was restored from a system state backup that is 3 days old. After the restore, the domain controller is functioning, but several user accounts created in the last 3 days are missing. What is the most likely cause, and what should the administrator do to prevent this in the future?

The backup was too old, and the restore rolled back Active Directory to that point; perform more frequent system state backups

The restore process corrupted the Active Directory database; run a database repair tool

The system state backup did not include Active Directory data; perform a full server backup instead

The domain controller was not rebooted after the restore; reboot it to force replication
