CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) — Question 286

An investment bank is seeking a DR backup solution. Which of the following provides the most cost-effective backup site?

Answer options

• A. Hot
• B. Cold
• C. Cluster
• D. Warm

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, Cold, because it refers to a backup site that is inexpensive and only requires activation during a disaster. Hot and Warm sites are more costly due to their higher readiness levels, while a Cluster is generally associated with maintaining high availability rather than being cost-effective.
