Answer: B - Warm sites provide some capabilities in the event of a recovery. The organization that wants to use a warm site will need to install, configure, and reestablish operations on systems that may already exist at the warm site.

Key Takeaway: A warm site is an alternate business recovery facility partially equipped with the necessary hardware, software, communications equipment, power supply, and environmental support equipment. It contains the data links and pre-configured equipment necessary to rapidly start operations, but does not contain live data. Hence, commencing operations at a warm site will require the restoration of current data.
