An enterprise on SAP-C02 RTO/RPO design must recover a critical workload within 4 hours and tolerate 15 minutes of data loss. Which DR strategy fits BEST while minimising idle spend?
ANo DR plan
BBackup and restore only (multi-hour RPO)
CMulti-site active-active (zero idle savings)
DPilot Light — keep core data replicated and minimal services running; bring up the rest on failover
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Pilot Light — keep core data replicated and minimal services running; bring up the rest on failover
Pilot Light balances RTO ~hours / RPO ~minutes against cost (only core warm). Backup-restore is too slow; multi-site is overkill cost; no DR fails the requirement.
