Which two attributes distinguish a hot site from a warm site under NIST's definitions? Choose two.

  1. It is transportable to the location the recovery requires
  2. It provides automated real-time mirroring of the primary site, so that no data is lost at all when the primary facility becomes unavailable
  3. It is sized to the system's requirements and already configured with the necessary hardware and supporting infrastructure
  4. It has support personnel already in place

Answer: C. It is sized to the system's requirements and already configured with the necessary hardware and supporting infrastructure
D. It has support personnel already in place

SP 800-34r1 builds the hot site to the system's requirements, with the hardware and supporting infrastructure already in place and support personnel present — the two things a warm site lacks.
