You administer a Microsoft SQL Server 2016 instance. The instance contains a database that supports a
retail sales application.
The application generates hundreds of transactions per second and is online 24 hours per day and 7 days per week. You plan to define a backup strategy for the database.
You need to ensure that the following requirements are met:
No more than 5 minutes worth of transactions are lost.
Data can be recovered by using the minimum amount of administrative effort.
What should you do? Choose all that apply.
A. Configure the database to use the SIMPLE recovery model.
B. Create a DIFFERE
NTIAL database backup every 4 hours.
C. Create a LOG backup every 5 minutes.
D. Configure the database to use the FULL recovery model.
E. Create a FULL database backup every 24 hours.
F. Create a DIFFERENTIAL database backup every 24 hours.
D, E
If there are only three options, the CDE (exclude differential backup), is the best answer.
I think that correct asnwer and order is:
– D. Configure the database to use the FULL recovery model – this is needed to allowing log backups;
– E. Create a FULL database backup every 24 hours.
– B. Create a DIFFERENTIAL database backup every 4 hours.
– C. Create a LOG backup every 5 minutes.
