Why is off-site data backup an important consideration in disaster recovery?

Question

Options

• AIt minimizes the risk of data breaches during a disruption
• BIt provides physical security for data centers
• CIt eliminates the need for data recovery procedures
• DIt ensures business continuity in case of a local site failure

• A
  3% (1)
• B
  10% (3)
• D
  87% (27)

Explanation

Off-site backup is critical for disaster recovery because it protects data from location-specific disasters such as fires, floods, or power failures that could destroy on-site backups along with primary systems. If both primary infrastructure and local backups are destroyed, business continuity is impossible. Off-site backup does not eliminate recovery procedures (C), does not inherently prevent breaches (A), and is a data protection - not physical security - measure (B).
