You work as a database administrator at Domain.com. The Domain.com network consists of a single Active Directory domain named Domain.com. Your duties at Domain.com encompass the configuration and maintaining the backup jobs for a SQL Server 2005 computer named Certkiller -DB02.
At present the backup files are written to a tape drive that is linked to the database server. Your department will in the nearby future install a new backup server. The backup files will then be written to disk on the new server. You are required to simplify the maintenance. You need to configure the backup jobs so that minimal changes will be necessary in order to back up to the new server.
What should you do?
A.
You should configure the backup jobs to write to an internal disk.
The backup job to then be altered to use backup devices after the new server is in place.
B.
You should configure backup jobs in order to write directly to the tape drive.
You should then move the tape drive to the new backup server.
C.
You should configure the backup jobs to write to backup devices.
These backup devices need to reference the tape drive.
The backup devices should be altered to point to the new backup server once the new server is installed.
D.
You should configure the backup jobs to write to an internal disk.
Thereafter you should alter the backup job once the new backup server is available.
Explanation:
Backup Device – A predefined pointer to a backup location. Instead of dynamically specifying a tape or disk location within the backup command, a backup device assigns a name to the physical location and this name can then be reused.
