Which of the following should the administrator ensure during the test of a disaster recovery plan?

Question

Options

• AEnsure that the plan works properly
• BEnsure that all the servers in the organization are shut down.
• CEnsure that each member of the disaster recovery team is aware of their responsibility.
• DEnsure that all client computers in the organization are shut down.

• A
  95% (35)
• B
  3% (1)
• D
  3% (1)

Explanation

Testing a disaster recovery plan serves two core purposes: verifying the plan actually functions as designed (A) and confirming that each team member understands and can execute their assigned role (C) - without both, a plan exists only on paper and will fail under real pressure.

Why B and D are wrong: Shutting down all servers (B) or all client computers (D) during a test would create an actual disaster rather than simulate one - DR plan tests are designed to be non-destructive and typically run in isolated or parallel environments to avoid business disruption.

Memory tip: Think of DR testing as a fire drill - you verify the alarm works (A) and everyone knows their exit route (C), but you never actually set the building on fire (eliminating B and D).
