In one sentence

Select backup and restore, pilot light, warm standby, or multi-site active/active according to RTO, RPO, cost, and complexity.

Key points

  • Backup and restore is least costly but usually has the longest recovery time.
  • Pilot light keeps critical data and core components running; warm standby keeps a reduced working environment.
  • Multi-site active/active offers the fastest continuity but has the highest cost and operational complexity.

Exam takeaway

Replication is not enough: automate recovery, test failover and failback, and verify dependencies and data consistency.
