Answer: C
Resource availability must be assured. The workload of the
site must be monitored to ensure that availability for
emergency backup use is not impaired. The site chosen should
not be subject to the same natural disaster as the primary
site. In addition, a reasonable compatibility of
hardware/software must exist to serve as a basis for backup.
The latest or newest hardware may not adequately serve this
need. Testing the hardware when the site is established is
essential, but regular testing of the actual backup data is
necessary to ensure the operation will continue to perform
as planned.
