A hospital uses Hyper-V to run its electronic health record (EHR) system. The DR plan requires point-in-time recovery with minimal data loss. The IT team currently uses Hyper-V snapshots for daily backups. What is a critical limitation of relying solely on snapshots for DR?

Snapshots are stored on the same storage as the VM, so they are lost if the storage fails.

Snapshots are not supported in Hyper-V.

Snapshots cannot be used for point-in-time recovery.

Snapshots consume no additional storage space.

What is the primary goal of a failover procedure in a virtualized environment?

To permanently decommission the primary site

To restore service availability at the recovery site with minimal downtime

To test the disaster recovery plan without affecting production

To create a backup of all virtual machines

Which of the following is a primary benefit of virtualization that directly supports disaster recovery efforts?

Guaranteed zero data loss in all scenarios

Hardware independence of virtual machines

Elimination of all backup requirements

Removal of the need for a disaster recovery plan

A DR team is conducting a failover test for a virtualized environment. The test plan requires that the failover be performed without disrupting the production VM. The team uses VMware vSphere Replication and wants to test the replica without affecting the primary. Which approach should they use?

Power off the replica and then power it on to test.

Perform a planned failover of the primary VM to the replica.

Take a snapshot of the primary and restore it to the replica.

Use the 'Test Failover' feature in vSphere Replication.
