Assume that you are the systems administrator of your organisation. The information systems data is vital for your organisation to operate. You now need to decide on a disaster recovery plan concerning your organisations data.
Take into consideration that your organisation operates from Monday to Friday (from 9am – 5pm) and Saturday (9am – 3pm) every week. You are planning to use tape drives for taking backups.
Extracts from company backup rotation policy
Offsite tape rotation
Every Monday, the tapes from the weekend’s full backups are removed from the on-site tape library and stored in the off-site storage safe located in room 505 at the XYZ Building. Tapes stored off-site that are due to return to service are taken back to the data-centre for re-use.
Because the tapes may contain sensitive or restricted data, during transit to and from the off-site location, the courier may not make any stops or leave the tapes unattended at any time. The tape inventory log is updated to reflect the new location of tapes.
You are working for an IT company and have been assigned to implement a system backup and restore for a client.
Your first step is to meet with the supervisor to clarify requirements before starting each task. Book an appointment with your teacher to complete this step.
The meeting will be conducted using a web meeting platform such as Skype or Zoom. Your teacher will provide you with instructions on how to access the meeting and will take you through a few steps before you begin to enable you to turn on and adjust your microphone appropriately. Make sure the meeting is recorded.
You are also required to capture screenshots using the snipping tool, for each task you complete below for this assessment.
Refer to the checklists to see the skills that you need to demonstrate.
The first part of the checklist has the tasks that need to be performed. In this part you will demonstrate your skills in carrying out the required tasks.
The second part of the checklist assesses your oral communication skills demonstrated during the meeting role play with your client (teacher).
