Explanation:
Remote journaling is a method of transmitting data offsite. It usually only includes moving the journal or
transaction logs to the offsite facility, not the actual files. These logs contain the deltas (changes) that have
taken place to the individual files. If and when data are corrupted and need to be restored, the bank can retrieve
these logs, which are used to rebuild the lost data.

C: Remote journaling send log files, not transactions, to a remote location.Harris, Shon, All In One CISSP Exam Guide, 6th Edition, McGraw-Hill, 2013, pp. 938-939
