Explanation
Remote journaling is the real-time or near-real-time transmission of transaction journal entries to an offsite/alternate location. It captures each transaction as it occurs and sends it to a remote site, ensuring minimal data loss. This differs from electronic vaulting, which bulk-transfers large files periodically. Options A and B describe tape-based offsite backup (hourly or daily), which is not real-time and involves physical media. Only option D correctly captures the defining characteristic: real-time, continuous transmission of journal entries to a remote site.
