Which is an important consideration when configuring PowerProtect Data Manager for disaster recovery?

Question

Options

• AData encryption methods
• BGeographic location of backup servers
• CFrequency of full system backups
• DTypes of data being backed up

• A

• B
  70% (19)
• C
  4% (1)
• D
  7% (2)

Explanation

Geographic location of backup servers (B) is the critical consideration because disaster recovery fundamentally depends on physical separation - if your primary and backup sites share the same geographic region, a regional disaster (flood, earthquake, power outage) can destroy both simultaneously, defeating the entire purpose of DR.

Why the distractors fall short:

• A (Data encryption) - encryption is a security concern that applies universally to all backup configurations, not a DR-specific consideration.
• C (Frequency of full backups) - backup frequency affects RPO (Recovery Point Objective) but is a general backup policy decision, not a DR-specific configuration concern for PowerProtect Data Manager.
• D (Types of data) - data classification matters for retention and tiering policies, but it doesn't distinguish a DR setup from a standard backup setup.

Memory tip: Think "DR = Distance Required." Disaster Recovery only works if your backup site is far enough away that the same disaster can't knock out both locations - so geography is always the first question to answer when configuring DR.
