Single Answer
Yuri wants to use an off-site backup location. What challenge can off-site backup locations create for organizations?
Answer Options
A
It is difficult to validate the integrity of the backups
B
Retrieving the backups may slow down recovery
C
The backups cannot be easily updated
D
Off-site backups may be impacted by the same disaster
Correct Answer: B
Explanation
Off-site backup locations are typically chosen so that they will not be impacted by the same disaster. That means that recovery may be slow if the backups either need to be physically retrieved or must be downloaded via an Internet connection. Backup integrity is typically verified as part of the backup process, and this can be checked easily. Off-site backups are typically updated as part of the backup process, and this should not be an issue.
