Question

An administrator is considering setting up a hot site for disaster recovery of the company's infrastructure. While reading through the online documentation, the administrator tries to identify key words that differentiate the hot site from warm and cold sites. Which of the following key words should the administrator identify? (Choose two.)

Options

  • AMirroring
  • BSynchronous
  • CRecovery
  • DAsynchronous
  • EMigration
  • FBackup

Why each option

A hot site uses real-time data mirroring with synchronous replication, keeping it fully operational at all times and distinguishing it from warm and cold sites.

AMirroringCorrect

Mirroring means data is replicated in real time to the hot site so it always holds an exact current copy of production data, enabling immediate failover with no restoration step required.

BSynchronousCorrect

Synchronous replication confirms each write at both the primary site and the hot site before acknowledging completion, ensuring zero data loss and a recovery point objective near zero - a defining characteristic that separates a hot site from all other DR tiers.

CRecovery

Recovery describes the process of restoring systems from backups, which is associated with cold sites that require significant setup and restoration time before becoming operational.

DAsynchronous

Asynchronous replication introduces a lag between primary and secondary data writes, which is characteristic of warm sites that tolerate some data loss, not hot sites.

EMigration

Migration refers to moving systems or data between environments and is not a defining term for any disaster recovery site tier.

FBackup

Backup describes periodic data copies used in cold sites where data must be restored manually before operations can resume, not the real-time approach of a hot site.
