Which of the following is the MOST critical element of an effective disaster recovery plan (DRP)?
A. Offsite storage of backup data
B. Up-to-date list of key disaster recovery contacts

D. Clearly defined recovery time objective (RTO)
Answer Posted / chatter
The correct answer is A
A. Remote storage of backups is the most critical disaster recovery plan (DRP) element of the items listed because access to backup data is required to restore systems.
B. Having a list of key contacts is important but not as important as having adequate data backup.
C. A DRP may use a replacement data center or some other solution such as a mobile site, reciprocal agreement or outsourcing agreement.
D. Having a clearly defined recovery time objective (RTO) is especially important for business continuity planning (BCP), but the core element of disaster recovery (the recovery of IT infrastructure and capability) is data backup.
