Choose the single best answer.

Show the answer and explanation

✓ Correct answer

The schedule alone cannot meet the five-minute objective because almost an hour of changes can be lost

Worst-case usable-point age can approach an hour, exceeding the five-minute data-loss objective. Restore start/VM startup relates to recovery time, not data gap, and an hourly point cannot contain all later writes. Source guide: PDF page 36.
