Why each option

To effectively prevent data loss during a disaster, the most robust solution involves storing data at a geographically separate location.

ADrive redundancy

Drive redundancy (e.g., RAID) protects against individual drive failures but does not protect against a site-wide disaster like fire, flood, or earthquake.

BOff-site storageCorrect

Off-site storage involves moving data to a different physical location, ensuring that if a disaster destroys the primary site, a copy of the data remains safe and accessible elsewhere. This strategy is critical for disaster recovery and business continuity plans, as it protects against regional outages or catastrophic events.

CBackup generator

A backup generator provides power continuity but does not prevent data loss if the data storage itself is destroyed by a disaster.

DFile history

File history provides local versioning of files, protecting against accidental deletion or modification, but not against the destruction of the entire storage device or site.
