Nick's organization houses tape-based backups for their critical data in their primary datacenter. What resilience issue could result in the event of a major disaster?
Answer Options
The tapes may not have been validated and might not be able to be restored.
A single disaster could destroy both the facility and the tapes.
The tapes may not last for the expected lifetime of the backups.
Tapes are relatively slow and may not allow for timely restoration.
Correct Answer: B
Explanation
The biggest issue for resilience is that placing backups in the same facility as the devices or systems they are backing up means that a single disaster could destroy both. Nick should consider off-site backup storage. Tape recovery can be slow, but this is a restoration timeframe issue, not a resilience issue. Tape lifetime is typically quite long, and backups are usually rolled over in time periods shorter than a year for most organizations. Finally, validation of backups can be a concern, but there is no description in the question that would lead to conclusions about testing.
