Explanation

A tape backup method is the general-purpose mechanism for protecting data integrity and availability by creating copies that can be restored if data is lost, corrupted, or deleted. Remote journaling (A) replicates transaction logs to a remote site for recovery. Database shadowing (B) maintains a duplicate database in real time. Mirroring (D) duplicates data to another disk in real time. While all have recovery value, tape backup is the classic, general-purpose answer for data preservation and restoration.
