CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) — Question 26

An organization is building a new backup data center with cost-benefit as the primary requirement and RTO and RPO values around two days. Which of the following types of sites is the best for this scenario?

Answer options

• A. Real-time recovery
• B. Hot
• C. Cold
• D. Warm

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, Warm, as it provides a balance between cost and recovery objectives, allowing for a faster recovery than a cold site while not being as expensive as a hot site. Real-time recovery and hot sites are too costly for this scenario, while cold sites would not meet the RTO and RPO requirements effectively.
