Question 5

Question
The main reason that a DRP project should have executive support and approval is:
Answer
  • A DRP project is very expensive

  • A DRP project requires the redesign of all in-scope IT systems
  • A DRP project requires the redesign of all in-scope business processes

Question 6

Question
An organization is about to start its first disaster recovery planning project. The project manager is responsible for choosing project team members. Which staff members should be chosen for this project?
Answer
  • The project should use outsourced technical experts
  • The least experienced team members
  • The most experienced team members
  • The project should use outsourced disaster recovery planning experts

Question 7

Question
At the beginning of a disaster recovery planning project, the project team will be compiling a list of all of the organization’s most important business processes. This phase of the project is known as:
Answer
  • Business Impact Analysis
  • Risk Analysis
  • Business Process Analysis
  • Determination of maximum tolerable downtime (MTD)

Question 8

Question
In what sequence should a disaster recovery planning project be performed?
Answer
  • Business Impact Analysis, Maximum Tolerable Downtime, Recovery Point Objective, Recovery Time Objective, training, testing
  • Survey business processes, threat and risk analysis, develop recovery targets, criticality analysis
  • Project plan, risk assessment, statements of impact, criticality analysis, recovery targets, test recovery plans
  • Project plan, Business Impact Analysis, develop recovery plans, train personnel, test recovery plans

Question 9

Question
Benefits from disaster recovery and business continuity planning include all of the following EXCEPT:
Answer
  • Improved system resilience
  • Process improvements
  • Improved market advantage
  • Improved performance

Question 10

Question
The types of BCP and DRP tests are:
Answer
  • Document review, walkthrough, parallel test, cutover test
  • Document review, walkthrough, simulation, parallel test, cutover test
  • Document review, walkthrough, sanity test, parallel test, cutover test
  • Walkthrough, simulation, parallel test, cutover test, live test

Question 11

Question
The purpose of a cutover test is:
Answer
  • To determine the ability to perform live business transactions on production systems instead of on backup systems
  • To determine the ability for a recovery test to be interrupted
  • To determine the ability to perform live business transactions on production systems and backup systems at the same time
  • To determine the ability for the last minute substitution of a recovery team

Question 12

Question
The purpose of a parallel test is:
Answer
  • To determine the ability to perform live business transactions on production systems instead of on backup systems
  • To determine the ability for a recovery test to be interrupted
  • To determine the ability to perform live business transactions on production systems and backup systems at the same time
  • To determine the ability for the last minute substitution of a recovery team

Question 13

Question
The greatest risk related to a cutover test is:
Answer
  • If backup servers do not function correctly, the test will fail
  • A cutover test tests only the live load and not the switchover
  • A cutover test tests only the switchover and not the live load
  • If backup servers do not function correctly, critical business processes may fail

Question 14

Question
A project team has just completed building the organization’s business continuity plan. Which of the following tests should be performed first?
Answer
  • Walkthrough
  • Simulation
  • Parallel test
  • Cutover test

Question 15

Question
An organization that is building a disaster recovery capability needs to re-engineer its application servers to meet new recovery requirements of 4 hour RPO and 24 hour RTO. Which of the following approaches will best meet this objective?
Answer
  • Active/Passive server cluster with replication
  • Tape backup and restore to a hot site
  • Tape backup and restore to a cold site
  • Server cluster with shared storage

Question 16

Question
The purpose of a server cluster includes all of the following EXCEPT:
Answer
  • Improve an application’s availability
  • Increase an application’s capacity
  • Increase an application’s data storage
  • Provide fault tolerance

Question 17

Question
The purpose of off-site media storage is:
Answer
  • To protect media from damage in the event of a disaster
  • To protect media from theft
  • To provide additional storage not available on-site
  • To meet regulatory requirements for media protection

Question 18

Question
An organization that is performing a disaster recovery planning project has determined that it needs to have on-site electric power available for as long as ten days, in the event of an electric utility failure. The best approach for this requirement is:
Answer
  • Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and power distribution unit (PDU)
  • Electric generator
  • Uninterruptible power supply (UPS)
  • Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and electric generator

Question 19

Question
The first priority for disaster response should be:
Answer
  • Backup media
  • Paper records
  • Personnel safety
  • Remote access

Question 20

Question
Which of the following would NOT be on a list of parties to notify in the event of a disaster-related emergency:
Answer

Question
The definition of Recovery Time Objective (RTO) is:
Answer
