A small business runs its file server on a single server with a RAID 1 array. The server has a single power supply and a single network connection. The business has an RTO of 4 hours and an RPO of 24 hours. Which improvement would BEST reduce the risk of exceeding the RTO?

Perform daily backups to an external drive

Add a second power supply and a second network connection

Set up a second server with real-time replication

An emergency response plan for a pandemic scenario would primarily focus on which of the following?

Activating alternate processing sites

Protecting employee health and enabling remote work

A financial services firm processes customer transactions in an on-premises database. Management has set a Recovery Time Objective (RTO) of 4 hours and a Recovery Point Objective (RPO) of 30 minutes for this system. The current backup strategy performs a full backup every night and transaction log backups every 15 minutes. During a recent disaster, the database was restored from the full backup, but applying the transaction logs took 6 hours. Which change would BEST align the recovery process with the stated objectives?

Switch to differential backups taken every 15 minutes.

Extend the RTO to 6 hours to match the current recovery capability.

Implement a warm standby site with a replicated copy of the database.

Increase the frequency of full backups to every 6 hours.
