VerifiedData Backup Strategies

Craig operates a back-end support center for several technology clients. Because his clientele is global, the operation must run 24x7. However, because the products he supports are non-emergency, he can tolerate a few days of downtime following a disaster.

He identified a backup site to which operations can be switched if a disaster renders the primary business site unusable. Since he has a buffer of a few days, he chose to pre-install the hardware and pre-configure restoration settings at the backup site. This will enable him to restore operations within the specified RTO. Which of the following backup sites did Craig choose?

Explanation

A warm site has recovery infrastructure and configuration prepared in advance, enabling faster restoration than a cold site without the cost of a fully active hot site. It is appropriate when the recovery-time objective permits downtime measured in hours or days. Microsoft describes warm standby as a partially provisioned secondary environment that can be scaled quickly during a failure.
