Which DR option is typically deployed with some equipment installed and recovers in hours to days?

• A. Warm Site
• B. Cold Site
• C. Hot Site
• D. Hot Spare

Answer: (A)

In disaster recovery planning, a warm site represents a middle ground where some equipment is already installed and configured, with data and core systems ready to be brought online. This setup allows a restoration of services in hours to days, depending on how much needs to be restored or reconfigured. A cold site would require procuring and installing hardware before services can run, a hot site would be fully prepped and capable of near-instant failover, and a hot spare is a ready-to-go standby component or system. So the description fits a warm site.
