CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-002) — Question 167

A cloud engineer is building a disaster recovery plan for a private cloud. Business requirements state that recovery must be to a separate DR location and that
RPO and RTO must be minimized. Which of the following disaster recovery solutions BEST meets these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Synchronous replication to another site 700mi (1126km) away
• B. Synchronous replication to another site 50mi (80.5km) away
• C. Asynchronous replication to another site 700mi (1126km) away
• D. Asynchronous replication to another site 50mi (80.5km) away

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because asynchronous replication allows data to be sent to a DR site that is far away without the need for immediate synchronization, thus minimizing RPO and RTO. Options A and B are synchronous, which may not be feasible over long distances due to latency. Option D, while asynchronous, is too close to the primary site to effectively meet the requirement for a separate DR location.
