Latency is the time delay between a request and the system’s response, directly matching the question’s description.

Option A (Reaction):Not a technical term for delay.

Option B (Durability):Refers to data persistence, not response time.

Option C (Nonrepudiation):Ensures actions can’t be denied, unrelated to delay.

“Latency measures the delay in system response to requests, a critical factor in assessing recovery and performance” (Module: System Resilience, Section: Performance Metrics).

Disaster Recovery Management refers to the processes, policies, and procedures an organization uses to restore systems, applications, and data to normal operating conditions after a disruptive event, within a prescribed and acceptable time frame.

Business Continuity Management (BCM)focuses on ensuring the overall continuation of business operations during and after a disruption, which includes but is not limited to IT recovery.

Risk Managementinvolves identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks but does not specifically address the restoration process.

Recovery Managementis a vague term and not a standard industry-specific term for this context.

Business Impact Analysis (BIA) is a process to identify critical business functions and assess the impact of disruptions. Its components typically include executive sponsorship (to ensure leadership support), formation of a committee (to conduct the analysis), and feedback (to refine the process). Safety, while important in disaster recovery, is not a direct component of BIA, which focuses on operational and financial impacts rather than physical safety measures.

Option A (Feedback):Essential for validating and improving BIA findings.

Option B (Executive Sponsorship):Critical for resource allocation and authority.

Option D (Formation of Committee):Necessary for collaboration and execution.

EDRP v3 outlines BIA components, excluding safety as a core element, focusing instead on impact assessment and resource prioritization (Module: Business Impact Analysis).

Time Machine is a built-in backup feature of macOS that allows users to automatically back up their entire system, including applications, system files, and personal data, to an external drive or network location. It enables users to restore their Mac to a previous state, such as before a problematic update, by selecting a specific backup point. In this scenario, Jack needs to revert his MacBook to the previous OS version due to issues with the beta update. Time Machine is the appropriate tool because it provides a user-friendly way to restore the system to a prior working state.

Option A (Time Shift):This is not a recognized feature in macOS. It seems to be a fictional or misnamed option.

Option B (Image Recovery):While image recovery refers to restoring a system from a disk image, it’s not a specific macOS feature and is less user-friendly than Time Machine for this purpose.

Option C (Snapshots):Snapshots are point-in-time copies of data, but in macOS, they are part of Time Machine’s local backup system and not a standalone feature Jack would directly use to restore his OS.

While EDRP focuses on enterprise disaster recovery, it covers backup and restoration tools like Time Machine under personal system recovery concepts, emphasizing the importance of regular backups for system restoration.

PASIS (Pittsburgh Advanced Survivable Information Storage) integrates Decentralized Storage Systems, Data Redundancy and Encoding, and Dynamic Self-Maintenance for survivable storage, as Matt researched.

Option A:Centralized, not PASIS’s decentralized focus.

Option B:Distributed computing is broader than storage-specific.

Option D:Centralized, contradicts PASIS principles.

“PASIS architecture combines decentralized storage, redundancy with encoding, and self-maintenance for robust, survivable data systems” (Module: Survivable Storage Systems, Section: PASIS Components).

A Virtual Tape Library (VTL) is a disk-based storage system designed to emulate traditional tape libraries, allowing organizations to use existing tape backup software with faster disk-based storage. It uses HDDs to mimic tape functionality, improving backup and recovery speed.

Option B (Mirroring):Involves duplicating data across drives, not emulating tape.

Option C (Disk-to-Disk):Refers to disk-based backups but not specifically tape emulation.

Option D (Snapshot):A point-in-time copy of data, not a tape-like system.

EDRP v3 covers VTL as a modern backup solution under storage technologies, noting its role in bridging tape and disk systems (Module: Data Backup and Recovery).

Restoration involves repairing a damaged site or establishing a new one to enable operations, focusing on infrastructure recovery.

Option B (Resumption):Refers to restarting operations, not site repair/setup.

Option C (Response):Immediate actions during a disaster, not post-disaster site work.

Option D (Business Continuity):A broader strategy, not specific to site restoration.

EDRP v3 defines restoration as rebuilding or replacing physical infrastructure post-disaster (Module: Disaster Recovery Planning).

A Software Defined Data Center (SDDC) is a fully virtualized infrastructure where storage, compute, and networking are abstracted and delivered as a service, aligning with the question’s description. It encompasses more than just storage, including processing capabilities.

Option A (Cloud-based Storage):Refers only to storage, not a full facility with processing.

Option B (Virtual Machines):Individual virtualized servers, not a complete facility.

Option D (Data Virtualization):Focuses on abstracting data access, not a full service facility.

EDRP v3 covers SDDC as an advanced virtualization concept for disaster recovery and service delivery (Module: Virtualization and Cloud Computing).

In Hyper-V, Checkpoint Backup (formerly called snapshots in earlier versions) creates point-in-time copies of virtual machines, allowing quick backups without the time overhead of a full backup, as Jack’s manager suggested.

Option A (System Backup):Not a Hyper-V-specific feature.

Option C (Snapshots Backup):Older term, replaced by “Checkpoint” in newer Hyper-V versions.

Option D (Hyper-V Replication):Replicates VMs for DR, not a backup method.

“Hyper-V’s Checkpoint Backup feature enables rapid point-in-time VM backups, reducing backup time compared to full system copies” (Module: Virtualization and Recovery, Section: Hyper-V Backup Options).

Business Impact Analysis (BIA) identifies critical resources, recovery order, and RTO/RPO, but assessing threat impact is part of risk assessment, not BIA’s primary objective.

Option B/C/D:Core BIA goals.

“BIA focuses on resource identification, recovery prioritization, and RTO/RPO, not direct threat impact assessment, which precedes it” (Module: Business Impact Analysis, Section: BIA Objectives).
