The administrator is currently using a warm site.
A disaster recovery site is a backup location where an organization can continue its essential operations in case the primary site becomes inaccessible due to a disaster. There are three types of disaster recovery sites: cold, warm, and hot.
A cold site is a disaster recovery site that provides only basic infrastructure, such as power and cooling. The site does not have any hardware or software configured, and the organization must install and configure its equipment to resume its operations. This approach requires the most effort and time to get the site up and running, but it is the least expensive.
A hot site is a disaster recovery site that provides the same hardware, software, and network configuration as the primary site. The site is always on and ready to take over if the primary site fails. This approach is the most expensive but provides the quickest recovery time objective (RTO) and recovery point objective (RPO).
A warm site is a disaster recovery site that provides the essential infrastructure and some hardware and software configured, but not to the same extent as the primary site. The site is not always on and requires some effort and time to get it up and running. This approach is less expensive than a hot site but provides a longer RTO and RPO than a hot site.
In this case, the administrator is updating the server infrastructure at a disaster recovery site, which indicates that some hardware and software are already configured. However, an enormous amount of effort is required to replicate operations, which suggests that the site is not always on and requires some effort to get it up and running. Therefore, the administrator is currently using a warm site. The replication site is not a type of disaster recovery site but rather a technology that enables the duplication of data between the primary and secondary sites.
