CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 98

Management has requested that services be available within 72 hours of a disaster. Budget is a major concern. A contract is signed with a company that has plenty of space, and the technician will have the option of putting infrastructure equipment in place. Which of the following BEST describes this business continuity strategy?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

A cold site is a backup facility that does not have active equipment and requires time to set up infrastructure, aligning with the 72-hour recovery requirement. In contrast, a hot site is fully equipped and operational immediately, while warm sites offer a balance of both but would not meet the budget concern as effectively. Differential and incremental backups relate to data protection strategies rather than physical locations for business continuity.
