During the implementation of a BC/DR plan in the cloud, what is a key activity?

Reviewing the plan after a test

Writing a new business continuity policy

Configuring automated backups for critical data

A company is developing a BC/DR plan for a cloud-hosted ERP system. The plan must clearly define who is responsible for declaring a disaster and who will execute the recovery procedures. Which section of the BC/DR plan should be created to address these requirements?

Testing and maintenance schedule

In the context of cloud service resilience, what is the primary purpose of a disaster recovery (DR) strategy?

To reduce the cost of cloud services during normal operations

To prevent any disruption from occurring in the first place

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

To ensure continuous operation of business processes during a disruption

A company is moving its on-premises data center to a public cloud. The current BC/DR strategy relies on a secondary physical site with a 4-hour RTO and a 1-hour RPO. The cloud provider offers multiple regions with synchronous replication and automated failover. The company wants to improve its recovery capabilities while reducing capital expenditure. Which strategy should the company adopt?

Deploy the application in a single cloud region with no replication and rely on the provider's availability SLA.

Use the cloud provider's multi-region replication and automated failover to achieve a lower RTO and RPO.

Use only backups stored in the cloud and restore them to a new environment when needed.

Maintain the same RTO and RPO by replicating to a secondary cloud region but keep the physical site as a backup.

A company runs a non-critical reporting application in the cloud. The application can tolerate up to 24 hours of downtime and up to 12 hours of data loss. The company wants to minimize costs. Which BC/DR strategy should the company implement?

Take weekly snapshots and store them in the same region.

Perform daily backups of the application data to a low-cost storage tier.

Implement a pilot light approach with a standby environment in another region.

Use synchronous replication to a secondary region with automated failover.
