Which of the following is the MOST important element to ensure the success of a disaster
recovery test at a vendor-provided hot site?
A.
Tests are scheduled on weekends
B.
Network IP addresses are predefined
C.
Equipment at the hot site is identical
D.
Business management actively participates
Explanation:
Disaster recovery testing requires the allocation of sufficient resources to be successful. Without
the support of management, these resources will not be available, and testing will suffer as a
result. Testing on weekends can be advantageous but this is not the most important choice. As
vendor-provided hot sites are in a state of constant change, it is not always possible to have
network addresses defined in advance. Although it would be ideal to provide for identical
equipment at the hot site, this is not always practical as multiple customers must be served and
equipment specifications will therefore vary.
