A town hall keeps production VMs and all backup disks in the same on-premises rack. What backup placement best reduces the risk that one rack or site failure destroys production and backups together?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
If the fire takes the whole rack, production and the only backup toast together. An off-site or other-region copy is the spare key you keep at a friend's house.
Full Explanation
Co-locating production and sole backup media creates a single point of loss for facility, rack, or site disasters. Off-site, alternate-site, or cross-region backup copies provide recovery options when the primary location is unavailable. Local-only secondary media in the same room does not satisfy geographic separation for disaster scenarios.
