Brad is helping to design a disaster recovery strategy for his organization and is analyzing possible storage locations for backup data. He is not certain where the organization will recover operation

Question

Options

• APrimary data center
• BField office
• CCloud computing
• DIT manager's home

• A
  4% (1)
• B
  13% (3)
• C
  83% (19)

Explanation

Cloud computing (C) is the best choice because it provides geographically independent access - backup data stored in the cloud can be retrieved from any location with internet connectivity, making it ideal when the recovery site is unknown or may change.

Why the distractors fail:

• A (Primary data center): If the primary data center is affected by the disaster, the backups stored there are also at risk or inaccessible - this defeats the purpose of DR.
• B (Field office): Backups at a single field office create a fixed dependency; if recovery happens at a different site, retrieving data requires extra steps, and the field office itself could be affected by regional disasters.
• D (IT manager's home): This is not a scalable, secure, or reliable solution - it introduces single points of failure, security risks, and lacks enterprise-grade availability.

Memory tip: Think of the cloud as "location-agnostic storage" - when you don't know where you'll recover, you need storage that doesn't care where you are. If the question mentions uncertainty about recovery location or flexibility across sites, cloud is almost always the answer.
