Question 260
A team performs two backups every day and assumes that alone satisfies continuity, although one critical message queue cannot replay lost events. What dependency should recovery design address?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Restoring a database is insufficient if dependent queues and application sequence state cannot be reconstructed. Recovery controls have to be tested against actual restore requirements and isolated from the same compromise path; possessing a backup is not evidence that a timely, usable restoration is possible. The stated evidence is one critical message queue cannot replay lost events. This distinction rules out “The number of duplicate icons in the user interface”: uI design does not preserve queue state or event ordering. “End-to-end application state and replay capability, not only stored database copies” addresses the specific security outcome rather than the separate function that alternative performs.
Incorrect Answers
Document disposal does not recreate lost application messages. Resilience is established by tested recovery mechanisms, failure-domain separation and business-defined recovery time and recovery point goals. Here the decisive fact is one critical message queue cannot replay lost events. “End-to-end application state and replay capability, not only stored database copies” matches that requirement because restoring a database is insufficient if dependent queues and application sequence state cannot be reconstructed.
Display configuration cannot restore missing queue events. The evidence is one critical message queue cannot replay lost events. A tunnel or proxy changes the transport or inspection path; fine-grained identity and resource authorization still need explicit policy. By contrast, “End-to-end application state and replay capability, not only stored database copies” operates on the specific concern: restoring a database is insufficient if dependent queues and application sequence state cannot be reconstructed.
