CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 111

Hosting data in different regional locations but not moving it for long periods of time describes:

Answer options

• A. a cold site.
• B. data at rest.
• C. on-site retention.
• D. off-site storage.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as 'data at rest' refers to data that is not actively moving and is stored in one or more locations. The other options do not accurately describe the concept of data being stored without movement; for instance, a cold site refers to a backup site that is not immediately operational, while on-site retention and off-site storage pertain to the location and management of data rather than its state of movement.
