An organization has a BC/DR plan that has been tested twice in the past year. The last test revealed that the backup restoration process failed due to corrupted backup files. The organization has since improved the backup process. What is the most appropriate next step?

Conduct another test to validate that the backup restoration issue is resolved.

Replace the backup process with a different technology without testing.

Update the plan to note the issue but do not retest until the next scheduled test.

Assume the fix is sufficient and skip future tests.

Which statement best describes the relationship between business continuity (BC) and disaster recovery (DR) in a cloud environment?

BC and DR are interchangeable terms for the same set of activities

BC and DR are independent strategies that do not overlap

DR is a subset of BC that focuses on restoring IT systems after a disruption

BC is a subset of DR that focuses on maintaining business processes during a disaster

An organization with a private cloud deployment wants to minimize data loss in case of a disaster. Which strategy is most effective?

Synchronous replication to a secondary site

Asynchronous replication to a secondary site

Weekly snapshots stored on the same storage array

A company uses a public cloud IaaS model and needs to recover its virtual machines in a different region within 15 minutes of a regional outage. Which BC/DR strategy is most appropriate?

Periodic backup to object storage in another region

Continuous replication of VMs to a secondary region with automated failover

Manual failover to a backup site using snapshots taken daily

Cold standby with pre-configured VMs started only after an outage

A company has a cloud application with an RTO of 30 minutes and an RPO of 5 minutes. The application runs on virtual machines in a single region. The company wants to implement a failover mechanism to a secondary region. What should the company configure to meet the RTO and RPO?

Take daily snapshots of the VMs and store them in the secondary region.

Replicate the virtual machines and data to the secondary region using continuous replication, and configure an automated failover runbook.

Deploy the application in the secondary region but do not replicate data.

Use a manual process to copy VM images to the secondary region weekly.
