You administer a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 server that hosts a transactional database and a
reporting database. The transactional database is updated through a web application and is
operational throughout the day. The reporting database is only updated from the transactional
database.
The recovery model and backup schedule are configured as shown in the following table:
The differential backup of the reporting database fails. Then, the reporting database fails at 14:00
hours.
You need to ensure that the reporting database is restored. You also need to ensure that data loss is
minimal.
What should you do?
A.
Restore the latest full backup, and restore the latest differential backup. Then, restore the latest
log backup.
B.
Perform a point-in-time restore.
C.
Restore the latest full backup.
D.
Restore the latest full backup, and restore the latest differential backup. Then, restore each log
backup taken before the time of failure from the most recent differential backup.
E.
Restore the latest full backup. Then, restore the latest differential backup.
F.
Restore the latest full backup. Then, restore each differential backup taken before the time of
failure from the most recent full backup.
G.
Perform a page restore.
H.
Perform a partial restore.
I don’t agreed to the answer C. Reporting DB Full BK is on 1:00 AM there ‘s another Updating Data from transactional DB to Reporting DB at 12:30 PM . if restore latest full BK of 1:00 AM,
we ‘re going to lose Updating Data from transactional DB to Reporting that occurred at 12:30.
My answer is F. what do you think of it?
The database has a full backup a 01:00AM.
Diff at 13:00
The last diff failed, to theres nothing to do. theres nothing between the full and the failed diff.
So the correct answer is C.
Restore the latest full backup.
yes you are right. I miss reading of this sentence.
“The differential backup of the reporting database fails.”
