What is essential when setting up disaster recovery in PowerProtect Data Manager?

Options

• AHigh-capacity backup storage
• BFast network connections
• CRegular testing of the recovery plan
• DMultiple backup software tools

• D

Explanation

Regular testing of the recovery plan (C) is essential because a disaster recovery setup is only as good as its last successful test - untested plans often fail at the worst possible moment due to undetected configuration drift, expired credentials, or procedural gaps. High-capacity backup storage (A) is useful but secondary; you can have enormous storage and still fail recovery if the process itself is broken. Fast network connections (B) improve recovery speed (RTO) but are not essential - a slow, working recovery beats a fast, broken one. Multiple backup software tools (D) actually introduce complexity and potential conflicts rather than improving reliability; PowerProtect Data Manager is designed as a unified platform precisely to avoid this.

Memory tip: Think of DR like a fire drill - having a fire extinguisher (storage), fast exits (network), and multiple alarms (tools) means nothing if you've never practiced evacuating. The drill (testing) is what makes the plan real.
