Which criterion is used to assess off-site storage solutions?

While redundancy is important for data backup and recovery, it primarily focuses on the availability of data rather than the protection of that data from external threats. Redundancy ensures that copies of data exist in multiple locations or formats to prevent loss, but it does not directly address how secure those locations are against unauthorized access.

Device media refers to the physical or digital mediums on which data is stored, such as hard drives, SSDs, or cloud storage. While the type of device media can influence performance and reliability, it does not inherently provide a measure of how secure the data is when stored off-site. Security measures must be independent of the media used.

Capacity indicates the amount of data that can be stored in a solution but does not reflect the security level of that storage. A high-capacity solution may store vast amounts of data, but if it lacks adequate security measures, it remains vulnerable to breaches. Thus, capacity alone is not a sufficient criterion for assessing off-site storage solutions.
