Overview
DR questions span strategy (RTO/RPO, architecture patterns), technology (DRaaS, replication software), testing (how often, what to test), and ransomware scenarios.
Key Concepts
RTO: Maximum acceptable recovery time. RPO: Maximum acceptable data loss. DR patterns: Active-passive, active-active, pilot light, warm standby. DRaaS: Managed cloud DR.
Best Practices
Define RTO and RPO before selecting DR strategy. Test DR plans annually. Document procedures in detail. Account for ransomware scenarios. Keep DR plans current.
Key Considerations
DR is expensive — justify cost against cost of downtime. Not all systems require the same DR tier. Cloud DR provides geographic diversity. Ransomware scenarios require specific DR procedures.
