What type of backup site remains offline but has critical data storage operational?

Hot site
Warm site
Cold site
Active/passive

The correct answer is: Warm site

The most fitting choice for a backup site that remains offline but has critical data storage operational is a warm site. A warm site typically maintains hardware and an environment ready to host applications and data, but it does not operate continuously like a hot site. Instead, it requires some preparation and configuration before it can be fully operational. Though it may not be actively running, a warm site typically has essential data storage solutions in place, which allows for a quicker recovery time compared to a cold site, where everything would need to be set up from scratch, including data restoration. This makes warm sites a more practical solution for organizations that need a balance between cost and recovery time, especially in situations where critical data must remain accessible, even if the site itself is not live.
