The Disaster Management Executive Committee oversees high-level planning, research, development, and implementation of the disaster recovery plan across the organization, fitting the described role.

Option A:General team, not specific to development/implementation.

Option C:Chairpersons lead, not execute development.

Option D:Coordinators manage execution, not full development.

“The Disaster Management Executive Committee directs research, development, and organization-wide implementation of the DR plan” (Module: Disaster Recovery Teams, Section: Team Roles).

Recovery Point Objective (RPO) measures the data loss window, here 13 hours from the last backup (8:00 pm) to the disaster (9:00 am), not recovery time (8 hours). The ‘minus 13 hours’ phrasing is misleading; RPO is the correct term for potential data loss.

Option A (RTO):Time to restore (8 hours), not data loss.

Option B (MAO):Maximum downtime tolerance, not data-specific.

Option D (SPOF):A failure point, unrelated to time.

“RPO defines the time between the last backup and a disaster, indicating potential data loss, critical for planning” (Module: Recovery Metrics, Section: RPO Definition).

An Incremental Backup captures only files created or modified since the last backup (full or incremental), making it faster and less storage-intensive, as Kelly is doing.

Option A (Full Backup):Copies all data, not just changes.

Option B (Normal Backup):Synonym for full backup, not selective.

Option D (Differential Backup):Copies changes since the last full backup, not the last backup.

“Incremental Backups save only data changed since the last backup, optimizing speed and storage for frequent operations” (Module: Data Backup and Recovery, Section: Backup Types).

A Snapshot is a point-in-time copy of a virtual machine’s state, including its data, configuration, and memory, taken at regular intervals. It allows Phil to revert to the last saved version after a crash, preserving the VM’s architecture. This is common in virtualization platforms like VMware or Hyper-V.

Option B (Mirroring):Duplicates data in real time, not a point-in-time backup.

Option C (CDP):Captures every change continuously, more granular than needed here.

Option D (D2D):Transfers data between disks, not specific to VM state capture.

“Snapshots provide point-in-time backups of virtual machines, capturing their full state for quick recovery, ideal for experimental or critical workloads” (Module: Virtualization and Recovery, Section: VM Backup Methods).
