CISSP study material · question 456 of 500

A team tests its backup media each quarter by restoring a sample in its own data centre. Which further test does NIST SP 800-34 call for?

  1. Testing the media after the retention period expires, to confirm degradation.
  2. Testing the media on a different make of drive, to confirm portability.
  3. Testing the media against the recovery point objective, to confirm data currency.
  4. Testing the media at the alternate site, to confirm that site supports the same backup configuration.
Show the answer

Answer: D. Testing the media at the alternate site, to confirm that site supports the same backup configuration.

Media should be tested regularly for correct storage and error-free retrieval, and tested at the alternate site to confirm it supports the same configuration.
