Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
High-availability clustering
Always-On availability groups or high-availability clusters allow for near-instant failover, meeting very aggressive RTOs.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Transaction log shipping to a standby server
Why it's wrong here
Log shipping typically has a delay and requires manual intervention for failover, missing the one-minute RTO.
- ✗
Tape-based full backups
Why it's wrong here
Tape restoration is too slow to meet a one-minute RTO.
- ✗
Daily incremental backups
Why it's wrong here
Restoring incremental backups takes time and does not provide immediate failover.
- ✓
High-availability clustering
Why this is correct
HA clusters offer automatic failover, typically achieving RTOs within seconds.
