Disaster recovery is defined as?

• A. The process of resuming technical operations at a back-up site while recovering operations at the primary site
• B. Replacing all hardware with new models
• C. Increasing marketing spending during disaster
• D. Neglecting data backups to reduce costs

Answer: (A)

Disaster recovery focuses on restoring IT capabilities after a disruption. It involves getting essential technical operations back up and running quickly, often by using a backup or alternate site while the primary site is being repaired or rebuilt. The described approach—resuming technical operations at a back‑up site while recovering operations at the primary site—captures that goal of quickly restoring critical systems and data so the organization can continue functioning.

The other options don’t fit this concept: replacing hardware is a hardware refresh activity rather than restoring after an outage; increasing marketing spend during a disaster is not about recovery of IT operations; neglecting data backups undermines the very foundation of disaster recovery.
