Which of the following statements is true about a Disaster Recovery Plan? Select TWO

Ait is held at the top level

Bit contains more detail than a business continuity plan

Cthe focus is to return a company to making a profit after a disaster

Dit can be structured using a standardised framework

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B, D

Answers 2 and 4 are correct. A Business Continuity Plan is held at the top level, not a disaster recovery plan. This can be held at the department level- or whoever would have the ability to enact this if a disaster were to happen. A company is likely to have several Disaster Recovery Plans for different departments and different scenarios so several people within the organisation may be accountable for these. Option 3 is incorrect as the focus is on recovering systems (e.g. getting people back online) not on profit. P.155

D and C are spot on, but B seems off to me.

Wait, can a disaster recovery plan really focus on profit?

I thought B was right, but isn't it more about recovery?

A is misleading, it's not just top level.

I remember discussing that a Disaster Recovery Plan is often held at a lower level than the business continuity plan, so I’m not sure about A.

I recall a practice question that mentioned the focus of a Disaster Recovery Plan is more about recovery than profit, so I’m hesitant about option C.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like a Disaster Recovery Plan is more detailed than a business continuity plan, so maybe B is correct?

I think option D sounds familiar; I remember something about standardized frameworks in our study materials.

I'm a little confused by the wording of the question. Are they asking about the preferred approach for building, managing, and deploying business decisions? Or just one of those aspects? I'll need to read through the options carefully to make sure I understand the nuance.

This looks like a tricky question on asynchronous servlet processing. I'll need to carefully review the options and think through the concepts.
