The ABC Company runs two shifts, from 8:00 AM to midnight. Backups and system maintenance are performed between midnight and 8:00 AM. For the following scenario, determine whether the company's current backup procedures enable it to meet its recovery objectives, and explain why.
- Company makes daily incremental backups Monday through Friday at 3:00 AM each night. Company makes full backup weekly, on Saturdays at 1:00 PM.
- Recovery time objective = 2 hours
- Time to do full backup = 3 hours
-Time to restore full backup = 1 Hour
-Time to make incremental daily backup = 1 hour
-Time to restore each incremental daily backup = 30 minutes
Yes, current backup procedure enable to meet its recovery objective.
Incremental backups requires less storage space (than full backups) and and less restore time (than differential backup).
On friday, backup takes 1hr + 1hr + 30min = 2.5 hours.
Backup starts at 3 AM will complete at 5:30 AM and working hours are from 8 AM. So it will complete before 8 AM.
Also Recovery time Objective which means "time taken to restore a system after a disaster" is 2 hours only.
