A company has recently executed a planned failover to their disaster recovery site due to scheduled maintenance on their primary site. After maintenance was completed, they need to transition their operations back to the primary site. Which of the following options is the BEST method to ensure a smooth failback process?
You selected this option
Synchronizing the latest data changes from the DR site to the primary site prior to failback.
You selected this option
Stopping non-essential processes at the primary site to reduce load during the failback.
You selected this option
Performing a full data backup at the DR site and restoring it on the primary site after maintenance.
You selected this option
Reviewing the logs at the primary site for errors posted during the maintenance period.
The correct answer is 'Synchronizing the latest data changes from the DR site to the primary site prior to failback.' This is essential to maintain data integrity and ensure that all transactions processed at the disaster recovery site are reflected in the primary environment. Not stopping non-essential processes or simply reviewing logs does not address the synchronization of data that may have changed during the period of failover, and might result in data loss. Performing a full data backup instead of synchronization could result in an unnecessary extended downtime and is not the most efficient method for failback in this scenario.
