Answer:
When two drives in a RAID 5 configuration have failed, the technician will typically need to implement option A:
A. Replace the failed drives and restore the data from backup to the RAID.
In a RAID 5 array, data is distributed across multiple drives with parity information for redundancy. If two drives fail, the data is compromised, and the safest course of action is to replace the failed drives and then restore the data from a backup. This ensures that the data is not lost and maintains data integrity. RAID repair or formatting is not suitable when multiple drives fail, as it could result in data loss.
