The operation to recover system functionality and/or data integrity using backup media.

• A. Recovery
• B. Journaling
• C. Snapshots
• D. Disposal/Decommissioning

Answer: (A)

Recovery is the process of restoring system functionality and data integrity after a disruption, using backup media to bring systems back to a known good state. This is the core activity in disaster recovery and business continuity, where backups are used to reconstruct both software and data so services can resume. Journaling, meanwhile, is a file system technique that records changes to help recover from crashes, but it does not describe restoring from backups. Snapshots capture a point-in-time copy and can speed restoration, but they are a type of backup/restore point rather than the overall operation of recovering from backup media. Disposal/decommissioning concerns retiring assets and has no bearing on restoring operations.
