Show Answer
Correct Answer: AB

Backups will most effectively minimize a disruptive incident’s impact on a business if they are taken according to recovery point objectives (RPOs). RPOs define the maximum acceptable amount of data loss measured in time. By aligning backups with RPOs, organizations can ensure that their backups are frequent enough to capture the most recent data up to a point that meets their recovery requirements. This strategy helps in minimizing data loss and supports quicker recovery after an incident, thereby reducing the overall business impact.

Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs) define the maximum acceptable amount of data loss in the event of a disruptive incident. By aligning backups with RPOs, an organization ensures that the backup process captures data up to a point that meets its recovery requirements. In case of a disruptive incident, the organization can restore its systems and data to a state that is consistent with the defined RPO.

Minimizing Data Loss: RPOs define the acceptable maximum amount of data loss that can be tolerated after an incident. By aligning backups with RPOs, organizations ensure they have a recent copy of their data that reflects the state of the system close to the time of the disruption. This minimizes the potential loss of critical information. Faster Recovery: Frequent backups based on RPOs allow for a quicker restoration of data and system functionality after an incident. This reduces downtime and associated business disruptions. Focus on Business Needs: RPOs are established based on the organization's specific needs and tolerance for data loss. This ensures the backup strategy prioritizes the most critical data and applications.
