You are a medium sized Travel & Tourism company based in Mumbai by the name of “Kesari Travels”. Owing to the past developments of terrorist attacks & heavy flooding in Mumbai, you are very keen to have a Disaster Recovery/Business Continuity Plan in place. 

If your IT consultant provides you a choice between ‘Real-time mirroring of your data’ OR ‘Periodic back-up of your data’ which one of the proposed solutions will you choose as CIO of Kesari Travels? Justify with 2 reasons behind your choice & decision

Answer 1

I would choose the periodic backup of data and especially the incremental backup which saves only the alterations or changes to the files that have been done since previous data has already been backed up.

Periodic backup has the advantages in that only changes and alterations are backed up, you can recover data from the backup Incase files are damaged or deleted.
