An organization mat performs real-time financial processing is implementing a new backup solution Given the following business requirements?* The backup solution must reduce the risk for potential backup compromise* The backup solution must be resilient to a ransomware attack.* The time to restore from backups is less important than the backup data integrity* Multiple copies of production data must be maintainedWhich of the following backup strategies best meets these requirement?
A) Creating a secondary, immutable storage array and updating it with live data on a continuous basis
B) Utilizing two connected storage arrays and ensuring the arrays constantly sync
C) Enabling remote journaling on the databases to ensure real-time transactions are mirrored

[All CAS-005 Questions]

An organization mat performs real-time financial processing is implementing a new backup solution Given the following business requirements?

* The backup solution must reduce the risk for potential backup compromise

* The backup solution must be resilient to a ransomware attack.

* The time to restore from backups is less important than the backup data integrity

* Multiple copies of production data must be maintained

Which of the following backup strategies best meets these requirement?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

A .Creating a secondary, immutable storage array and updating it with live data on a continuous basis: An immutable storage array ensures that data, once written, cannot be altered or deleted. This greatly reduces the risk of backup compromise and provides resilience against ransomware attacks, as the ransomware cannot modify or delete the backup data. Maintaining multiple copies of production data with an immutable storage solution ensures data integrity and compliance with the requirement for multiple copies.

Other options:

B . Utilizing two connected storage arrays and ensuring the arrays constantly sync: While this ensures data redundancy, it does not provide protection against ransomware attacks, as both arrays could be compromised simultaneously.

C . Enabling remote journaling on the databases: This ensures real-time transaction mirroring but does not address the requirement for reducing the risk of backup compromise or resilience to ransomware.

D . Setting up anti-tampering on the databases: While this helps ensure data integrity, it does not provide a comprehensive backup solution that meets all the specified requirements.

Wait, can we really trust any of these with ransomware threats?

I’m a bit confused about the remote journaling option. It sounds good for mirroring, but does it really address the backup compromise risk?

I think we practiced a question similar to this where data integrity was prioritized. Option A seems to align with that focus on integrity over speed.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like syncing two storage arrays could still leave us vulnerable to attacks. Maybe option B isn't the safest choice?

I remember we discussed the importance of immutable storage in class, especially for protecting against ransomware. I think option A might be the best fit.
