Which of the following is the best way to ensure that the company's backup tapes can be restored and used at a warm site, using original equipment ?
Test them on the vendor's machine, which won't be used during an emergency.
Retrieve the tapes from the offsite facility, and verify that the equipment at the original site can read them.
Ask the offsite vendor to test them, and label the ones that were properly read.
Inventory each tape kept at the vendor's site twice a month.
The correct answer is to retrieve the tapes from the offsite facility and verify that the equipment at the original site can read them. A warm site will not be fully equipped with the company's main systems but the goal of using a warm site is that, if a disaster occurs, the company will bring its systems with it to the warm site.
Warm site in book indicates that equipment will be at the warm site not from original site. This is worded confusingly, if you are sending backups to an offsite facility, then they should be tested there, a warm site contains the equipment but it is not configured, if there is a disaster wouldn't the main site be destroyed so testing the backups at the site they were taken from isn't much of a test. Definition of a warm site "Warm sites occupy the middle ground between hot and cold sites for disaster recovery specialists. They always contain the equipment and data circuits necessary to rapidly establish operations. As with hot sites, this equipment is usually preconfigured and ready to run appropriate applications to support an organization’s operations. Unlike hot sites, however, warm sites do not typically contain copies of the client’s data" CISSP 7th edition p.780 Please add a reference to your answer.
