Question

Ty, a technician, is trying to calculate the amount of data loss that a system can sustain before the data is unrecoverable if it was targeted by a virus and just how far back in time from the disaster that would be. What is the technician testing for?

a) System reliability
b) Backup efficiency
c) Data recovery time
d) Data loss tolerance

Answer 1

The technician is testing for data loss tolerance in this scenario, which refers to the amount of data a system can sustain losing before it becomes unrecoverable.

The technician is testing for Data loss tolerance in this scenario. Data loss tolerance refers to the amount of data that a system can sustain losing before the data becomes unrecoverable. By determining this, the technician can understand how much data loss a system can handle and how far back in time it can recover from a disaster, such as being targeted by a virus.
