CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) — Question 465

A grocery store is expressing security and reliability concerns regarding the on-site backup strategy currently being performed by locally attached disks. The main concerns are the physical security of the backup media and the durability of the data stored on these devices. Which of the following is a cost-effective approach to address these concerns?

Answer options

• A. Enhance resiliency by adding a hardware RAID.
• B. Move data to a tape library and store the tapes off-site.
• C. Install a local network-attached storage.
• D. Migrate to a cloud backup solution.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because cloud backup solutions typically provide enhanced security, durability, and remote accessibility for data, minimizing risks associated with physical media. Options A and C do not adequately address the physical security and durability concerns, while option B, while providing off-site storage, may not be as cost-effective or efficient as modern cloud solutions.
