Which of the following recovery strategies has the GREATEST chance of failure?
A.
Hot site
B.
Redundant site
C.
Reciprocal arrangement
D.
Cold site
Explanation:
A reciprocal arrangement is an agreement that allows two organizations to back up each other
during a disaster. This approach sounds desirable, but has the greatest chance of failure due to
problems in keeping agreements and plans up to date. A hot site is incorrect because it is a site
kept fully equipped with processing capabilities and other services by the vendor. A redundant site
is incorrect because it is a site equipped and configured exactly like the primary site. A cold site is
incorrect because it is a building having a basic environment such as electrical wiring, air
conditioning, flooring, etc. and is ready to receive equipment in order to operate.
