9. If you drive RTO lower what must you do to streamline the procedure?
Streamline procedures by automating tasks, simplifying documentation, and regularly testing and
refining the recovery process.
10. Why is documenting and testing critical to achieve a defined RTO?
Documenting and testing are critical because they ensure clarity and reliability, allowing for
efficient and accurate execution during actual recovery, which helps achieve the defined RTO.
11. Why is it a best practice for an organization to document its back-up and recovery steps for
DR?
Documenting backup and recovery steps ensures consistency, aids training, and enhances
compliance, making disaster recovery (DR) more efficient and effective.
12. What can you do to cut down on the recovery time for accessing, copying, and recovering
your Lab
#1 – Lab #8 individual worksheets to help achieve the RTO?
To cut down recovery time, organize files for quick access, automate copying processes, and use
efficient backup solutions.
13. What will encryption of a disk or data in storage do to the RTO definition when attempting to
retrieve and recover clear-text data for production use?
Student Lab Manual
Encryption can increase the time needed for decryption during recovery, potentially extending the RTO.
14. How many total steps did your back-up and recovery procedures consist of for this Lab
exercise? Are there any that can be combined or streamlined?
Identify the number of steps in your procedure and combine or simplify steps to reduce
redundancy and increase efficiency.
15. If the individual accessing the system for DR purposes was not familiar with the IT system
and required system administrator login credentials, what additional step is required in the
recovery phase?
Provide clear instructions and access to credentials to ensure the individual can perform recovery
tasks without delays.
