CompTIA A+ 220-1102 Practice Question

Off-site backups are stored in different locations to protect data from local disasters - This is correct. Off-site backups ensure data is stored in geographically separate locations, protecting it from local disasters such as fires, floods, or theft that could affect on-site storage.

On-site backups provide faster data retrieval, but they do not address the risks posed by local disasters - This is true, but it is not the best strategy for protecting data against local disasters. On-site backups are vulnerable to the same risks as the primary data source.

Both on-site and off-site backups are designed to store data effectively in case of emergencies - While both types of backups are effective in different scenarios, only off-site backups provide robust protection against local disasters.

Off-site backups are used for secure storage, providing protection against data loss - While off-site backups do protect against data loss, this statement does not specifically address protection against local disasters.
