13. True or False: A lower RPO always requires more frequent backups or replication.

True

False

14. What is the primary purpose of database mirroring in a disaster recovery context?

To reduce backup storage costs

To maintain a synchronized copy for fast failover

To improve query performance on the primary server

To eliminate the need for backups

15. Which backup strategy typically supports the smallest RPO?

Weekly full backups only

Daily incremental backups

Continuous data replication

Monthly differential backups

Submit

True

False

18. Which scenario requires the lowest RTO?

A non-critical internal reporting database

A mission-critical e-commerce transaction system

A development environment database

A historical data archive

19. If a database has an RTO of 4 hours, what does this mean?

The system must be restored within 4 hours after a failure

Data backup must occur every 4 hours

The database can lose up to 4 hours of transactions

Recovery procedures must be tested every 4 hours
