CompTIA Cloud Essentials+ (CLO-002) — Question 24

Which of the following BEST explains the concept of RTOs for restoring servers to operational use?

Answer options

• A. To reduce the amount of data loss that can occur in the event of a server failure
• B. To ensure the restored server is available and operational within a given window of time
• C. To ensure the data on the restored server is current within a given window of time
• D. To reduce the amount of time a particular server is unavailable and offline

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer, D, accurately reflects the primary goal of RTOs, which is to minimize the downtime of a server. Options A, B, and C, while related to server recovery, focus on aspects of data loss, operational availability, and data currency rather than the specific timeframe of server unavailability.
