Which backup should you perform every two hours?

You administer a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 instance that contains a financial database hosted on a
storage area network (SAN). The financial database has the following characteristics:
• A data file of 2 terabytes is located on a dedicated LUN (drive D).
• A transaction log of 10 GB is located on a dedicated LUN (drive E).
• Drive D has 1 terabyte of free disk space.
• Drive E has 5 GB of free disk space.
The database is continually modified by users during business hours from Monday through Friday
between 09:00 hours and 17:00 hours. Five percent of the existing data is modified each day. The
Finance department loads large CSV files into a number of tables each business day at 11:15 hours
and 15:15 hours by using the BCP or BULK INSERT commands. Each data load adds 3 GB of data to
the database. These data load operations must occur in the minimum amount of time.
A full database backup is performed every Sunday at 10:00 hours. Backup operations will be
performed every two hours (11:00, 13:00, 15:00, and 17:00) during business hours. You need to
ensure that the backup size is as small as possible. Which backup should you perform every two
hours?
