time-share
A potential disadvantage of a ____ site-resumption strategy is that more than one organization might need the facility simultaneously.
False
A replaceable array of independent disks can overcome some of the limits of magnetic tape backup systems as well as provide enhanced capabilities such as a hot swap feature.
True

True
Some data is required by law to be retained and stored for years.
robustness
Some recovery strategies seek to improve the ____ of a server or system in addition to performing backups of data.
False
