High Availability (HA) ensures continuous operation by automatically switching to backup components (like virtual memory) during a failure, minimizing downtime, as in ABC Inc.’s case.

Option A (Deduplication):Removes redundant data, not a failover feature.

Option C (Fault Tolerance):Prevents failure impact but typically implies no interruption, not a switch.

Option D (Mirroring):Duplicates data, a component of HA, but not the full feature.

“High Availability maintains operations through automatic failover to backup resources, ensuring business continuity during component failures” (Module: System Resilience, Section: Availability Features).

Non-Authoritative Active Directory Restoration is used to restore a domain controller’s Active Directory database from a backup when other domain controllers in the domain are still operational. It allows the restored server to synchronize with the intact servers, updating its directory to the current state. Since Zane’s other servers have intact Active Directories, this method ensures consistency without overwriting domain-wide data.

Option A (Server Migration):Involves moving services to a new server, not restoring AD.

Option B (Data Replication):A general process, not specific to AD restoration.

Option C (Authoritative Restoration):Used when the restored AD data must override others, not applicable here.

“Non-Authoritative Active Directory Restoration recovers a domain controller by leveraging replication from other intact controllers, ensuring domain consistency without forcing changes” (Module: System Recovery, Section: Active Directory Recovery).

A Virtual Tape Library (VTL) is a disk-based storage system designed to emulate traditional tape libraries, allowing organizations to use existing tape backup software with faster disk-based storage. It uses HDDs to mimic tape functionality, improving backup and recovery speed.

Option B (Mirroring):Involves duplicating data across drives, not emulating tape.

Option C (Disk-to-Disk):Refers to disk-based backups but not specifically tape emulation.

Option D (Snapshot):A point-in-time copy of data, not a tape-like system.

EDRP v3 covers VTL as a modern backup solution under storage technologies, noting its role in bridging tape and disk systems (Module: Data Backup and Recovery).

Time Machine is a built-in backup feature of macOS that allows users to automatically back up their entire system, including applications, system files, and personal data, to an external drive or network location. It enables users to restore their Mac to a previous state, such as before a problematic update, by selecting a specific backup point. In this scenario, Jack needs to revert his MacBook to the previous OS version due to issues with the beta update. Time Machine is the appropriate tool because it provides a user-friendly way to restore the system to a prior working state.

Option A (Time Shift):This is not a recognized feature in macOS. It seems to be a fictional or misnamed option.

Option B (Image Recovery):While image recovery refers to restoring a system from a disk image, it’s not a specific macOS feature and is less user-friendly than Time Machine for this purpose.

Option C (Snapshots):Snapshots are point-in-time copies of data, but in macOS, they are part of Time Machine’s local backup system and not a standalone feature Jack would directly use to restore his OS.

While EDRP focuses on enterprise disaster recovery, it covers backup and restoration tools like Time Machine under personal system recovery concepts, emphasizing the importance of regular backups for system restoration.
