During a disaster recovery operation, your primary server with all client data has been compromised and is no longer functional. You have multiple backups available. Which of the following should be your FIRST action in restoring your client services according to best practices?
Restore operations from the most recent unaffected backup.
Begin documenting the disaster recovery process in detail before taking any restoration actions.
Restore operations from a backup that is several months old to ensure all issues are avoided.
Check the server room for any physical damage to other equipment.
The immediate priority in a disaster recovery process is to restore operations from the most recent backup that is not affected by the issue that caused the primary system failure. This ensures that you will lose as little data as possible. Restoring an old backup may not contain recent data, checking the server room doesn't address the immediate need to restore data, and while documenting the disaster is important, it should not be prioritized over restoring operations.
