SG0-001 · Question #289
What two (2) technologies are commonly used in a business continuity plan? (Choose two.)
The correct answer is B. subsytem-based synchronous replication to a remote site C. subsystem-based asynchronous replication to a remote site. Business continuity plans commonly leverage subsystem-based synchronous and asynchronous replication to a remote site to ensure data availability and rapid recovery in case of a disaster.

Why each option
Business continuity plans commonly leverage subsystem-based synchronous and asynchronous replication to a remote site to ensure data availability and rapid recovery in case of a disaster.
Tape backup with restore to a remote site is a disaster recovery method but typically has a much higher RTO (Recovery Time Objective) and RPO than replication, making it less suitable for immediate business continuity.
Subsystem-based synchronous replication to a remote site provides a real-time copy of data at the secondary location, ensuring near-zero RPO (Recovery Point Objective) and high availability for mission-critical applications by immediately reflecting changes.
Subsystem-based asynchronous replication to a remote site provides data redundancy with a small lag, allowing for disaster recovery with a slightly higher RPO than synchronous replication, but typically over longer distances and with less network bandwidth requirements.
Subsystem-based replication in the same datacenter offers high availability within a datacenter, but it does not protect against a disaster that affects the entire site, which is a core concern for business continuity.
Virtual tape library (VTL) with restore to a remote site is similar to physical tape backup in terms of RTO/RPO limitations for business continuity, primarily serving as a backup and archival solution rather than immediate failover.
