Which of the following is NOT a key component of a cloud disaster recovery plan?

  1. Data backup and recovery

  2. Failover testing

  3. Risk assessment

  4. Cloud migration


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Cloud migration is not a key component of a cloud disaster recovery plan, as it is the process of moving data and applications to the cloud, not a disaster recovery strategy.

What is the primary goal of business continuity planning?

  1. To minimize data loss

  2. To ensure continuous operations during a disaster

  3. To protect critical infrastructure

  4. To comply with regulatory requirements


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The primary goal of business continuity planning is to ensure that an organization can continue to operate during a disaster or disruption.

Which of the following is NOT a common cloud disaster recovery strategy?

  1. Active-active replication

  2. Active-passive replication

  3. Pilot light

  4. Cold site


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Pilot light is not a common cloud disaster recovery strategy, as it involves keeping a minimal infrastructure running continuously, which can be costly and resource-intensive.

What is the process of restoring data and applications to a production environment after a disaster called?

  1. Failover

  2. Failback

  3. Recovery

  4. Restoration


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Recovery is the process of restoring data and applications to a production environment after a disaster.

Which of the following is NOT a benefit of using cloud-based disaster recovery services?

  1. Improved data security

  2. Reduced costs

  3. Increased flexibility

  4. Less downtime


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Improved data security is not a benefit of using cloud-based disaster recovery services, as cloud providers typically have robust security measures in place to protect data.

What is the maximum recovery time objective (RTO) for a mission-critical application?

  1. 1 hour

  2. 24 hours

  3. 48 hours

  4. 72 hours


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The maximum RTO for a mission-critical application is typically 1 hour, as any longer downtime can result in significant financial and operational losses.

Which of the following is NOT a common cloud disaster recovery service model?

  1. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

  2. Platform as a Service (PaaS)

  3. Software as a Service (SaaS)

  4. Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS)


Correct Option:
Explanation:

SaaS is not a common cloud disaster recovery service model, as it involves the delivery of software applications over the internet, not disaster recovery services.

What is the process of testing a disaster recovery plan to ensure that it works as intended called?

  1. Failover testing

  2. Recovery testing

  3. Restoration testing

  4. Business continuity testing


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Failover testing is the process of testing a disaster recovery plan to ensure that it works as intended.

Which of the following is NOT a key element of a business impact analysis (BIA)?

  1. Identifying critical business processes

  2. Assessing the impact of disruptions on these processes

  3. Prioritizing recovery efforts

  4. Developing a disaster recovery plan


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Developing a disaster recovery plan is not a key element of a BIA, as the BIA is used to gather information that will be used to develop the plan.

What is the maximum recovery point objective (RPO) for a highly sensitive application?

  1. 15 minutes

  2. 30 minutes

  3. 1 hour

  4. 2 hours


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The maximum RPO for a highly sensitive application is typically 15 minutes, as any longer data loss can result in significant financial and reputational damage.

Which of the following is NOT a common cloud disaster recovery pricing model?

  1. Pay-as-you-go

  2. Subscription-based

  3. Per-seat

  4. Per-use


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Per-seat is not a common cloud disaster recovery pricing model, as it is typically used for software licensing, not disaster recovery services.

What is the process of moving data and applications back to the primary production environment after a disaster called?

  1. Failover

  2. Failback

  3. Recovery

  4. Restoration


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Failback is the process of moving data and applications back to the primary production environment after a disaster.

Which of the following is NOT a key component of a cloud business continuity plan?

  1. Data backup and recovery

  2. Disaster recovery testing

  3. Risk assessment

  4. Cloud migration


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Cloud migration is not a key component of a cloud business continuity plan, as it is the process of moving data and applications to the cloud, not a business continuity strategy.
