Which of the following disaster recovery tests includes the operations that shut down at the primary site, and are shifted to the recovery site according to the disaster recovery plan?

Answer options

• A. Structured walk-through test
• B. Simulation test
• C. Full-interruption test
• D. Parallel test

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer, C. Full-interruption test, is accurate because it entails shutting down the primary site operations and initiating them at the recovery site, as per the disaster recovery plan. The other options, such as A. Structured walk-through test and B. Simulation test, do not involve actual operational changes, while D. Parallel test involves running both sites simultaneously rather than fully interrupting operations.
