CompTIA Security+ Exam Prep

Answer: C - The best option for a company that creates a disaster plan for long-term solutions without long-term downtime would be a redundant site. Redundant sites are equipped and configured exactly like the primary site, which serves as a redundant environment. This is particularly useful when a company already owns more than one building to save on costs from building from scratch and the costs of long-term downtime. This is one of the most expensive backup facility options because a full environment must be maintained even though it usually is not used for regular production activities until after a disaster takes place that triggers the relocation of services to the redundant site. What also must be considered is the socio-economic impact of an organization shutting down for long periods of time when being a major job provider in one area.
