Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Testing of backup restoration procedures
Why it's wrong here
While good practice, it is not a component of the backup plan itself, but a validation step.
- ✗
Automatic database schema updates
Why it's wrong here
Schema management is a deployment task, not a backup task.
- ✓
Periodic full and incremental backups
Why this is correct
Regular backups are the foundation of data recovery.
- ✗
Installation of the latest OS patches
Why it's wrong here
OS patching is security maintenance, not a backup task.

Off-site storage of backup media
Why this is correct
Off-site storage is critical for protection against local site disasters.
