Which of the following types of sites is the best for this scenario?

An organization is building a new backup data center with cost-benefit as the primary requirement and RTO and RPO values around two days.

Which of the following types of sites is the best for this scenario?
A . Real-time recovery
B . Hot
C . Cold
D . Warm

Answer: C

Explanation:

A cold site is a type of backup data center that has the necessary infrastructure to support IT operations, but does not have any pre-configured hardware or software. A cold site is the cheapest option among the backup data center types, but it also has the longest recovery time objective (RTO) and recovery point objective (RPO) values. A cold site is suitable for scenarios where the cost-benefit is the primary requirement and the RTO and RPO values are not very stringent. A cold site can take up to two days or more to restore the normal operations after a disaster.
