9
Q

The process of maintaining a single virtual machine and replicating out to all other virtual machines. Generally only replicates the changes rather than the entire system in the event of a change.

A

VM replication

Q

What type of back up is always taken first?

A

Full backup

17
Q

What is the difference between a NAS and a SAN?

A

Network attached storage (NAS):

  • single device to be accessed across network
  • file-level access

Storage area network (SAN):

  • looks/feels like a storage device
  • block-level access
  • fast read/write speeds
18
Q

What is the biggest restriction on cloud based backup solutions?

A

Bandwidth

19
Q

The process of capturing an exact replica of everything on a storage drive to include OS files and user documents.

A

Image

20
Q

What does it mean for the cloud to be in a constant state of non-persistence?

A

Data is always in motion

Instances are constantly being built/torn down

21
Q

What does a cloud snapshot allow you to do?

A

Capture current configurations or the complete state of a device at a single moment in time

22
Q

True or false: A rollback does not modify data, but simply reverts the system to a previous configuration.

A

True

23
Q

True or false: high redundancy means high availability.

A

False

24
Q

What does it mean for a system to have high availability?

A

Always on, always available

25
Q

What does it mean to have an application-specific order of restoration?

A

Certain applications will have a higher priority and need to be restored first

(i.e. databases should be restored before the associated application)

26
Q

What is the order of restoration for incremental backups?

A

Restore the full backup

Restore all subsequent incremental backups

27
Q

What is the order of restoration for a differential backup?

A

Restore the full backup

Restore the last differential backup

28
Q

What is the most effective way to ensure your organization maintains a high level of resiliency?

A

Implement defense in depth (combine multiple controls: administrative, physical, technical, etc.)
