CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 69

A systems administrator has been asked to restore a VM from backup without changing the current VM's operating state. Which of the following restoration methods would BEST fit this scenario?

Answer options

• A. Alternate location
• B. Rolling
• C. Storage live migration
• D. In-place

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The 'In-place' restoration method is ideal for this scenario because it allows the VM to be restored directly to its original location without altering the current operating state. The other options, such as 'Alternate location' and 'Storage live migration', involve moving data or VMs to different environments, which could disrupt the current VM's operations.
