CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) — Question 137

Which of the following best ensures minimal downtime and data loss for organizations with critical computing equipment located in earthquake-prone areas?

Answer options

• A. Generators and UPS
• B. Off-site replication
• C. Redundant cold sites
• D. High availability networking

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Off-site replication is the best choice because it allows data to be stored in a separate location, ensuring its safety in the event of a disaster. While generators and UPS provide immediate power backup, they do not address data safety. Redundant cold sites and high availability networking can help with availability but may not guarantee data protection in an earthquake scenario.
