Explanation
The customer lost all local data and hardware to a hurricane, so local storage backups (C) would be destroyed in the same event. Data recovery (D) is reactive, not preventive. Waterproof devices (F) offer minimal protection against a major hurricane. Backup testing (A) is a best practice but not a disaster-prevention strategy on its own. Cloud storage (B) stores data off-site in geographically separate data centers, protecting it from local disasters. A hot site (E) is a fully equipped and operational backup facility the business can immediately switch to after a disaster, maintaining business continuity. Together, cloud storage and a hot site address both data preservation and operational recovery after a catastrophic local event.
