Questions and Answers

Naomi wants to handle increasing load by scaling cloud-hosted resources as needed while having the change remain transparent to users. She also wants to allow for upgrades and system replacements transparently. What solution should she select?

  • Load balancing (correct)
  • Clustering
  • Geographic diversity
  • A hot site

Rick performs a backup that captures the changes since the last full backup. What type of backup has he performed?

  • A new full backup
  • A snapshot
  • A differential backup (correct)
  • An incremental backup

What type of recovery site has some or most systems in place but does not have the data needed to take over operations?

  • A hot site
  • A warm site (correct)
  • A cloud site
  • A cold site

Flashcards

Load Balancing

Distributes network traffic across multiple servers to prevent overload, ensuring seamless user experience during scaling and upgrades.

Differential Backup

Backs up all changes made since the last full backup, requiring the full backup and the latest differential backup for restoration.

Warm Site

A recovery site with some systems in place but lacking current data.

Failover Testing

Testing a warm site by transferring operations to it to verify successful takeover.
