CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1002) — Question 178

A SOHO customer has recently experienced a major hurricane. The customer has no backups and has lost all data and hardware associated with the company.
The customer calls a contractor to assist in the rebuilding process and needs suggestions on the best way to prevent this from happening again.
Which of the following recommendations should the contractor give to the customer? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Backup testing
• B. Cloud storage
• C. Local storage backups
• D. Data recovery
• E. Hot site
• F. Waterproof devices

Correct answer: B, E

Explanation

The correct answers, B (Cloud storage) and E (Hot site), provide solutions for data redundancy and disaster recovery. Cloud storage offers off-site data backups that can be accessed remotely, while a hot site ensures immediate operational capability in the event of a disaster. Other options like A, C, D, and F either do not address the primary need for off-site backup or are not sufficient on their own to prevent data loss in a disaster scenario.
