You administer a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 server that hosts a transactional database
and a reporting database.
The transactional database is updated through a webapplication 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. Restore the latest full backup.
C.
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.
D.
Restore the latest full backup. Then, restore thelatest differential backup.
E.
Restore the latest full backup. Then, restore each differential backup taken before the
time of failure from the most recent full backup.
F.
Perform a page restore.
G.
Perform a partial restore.
H.
Restore the latest full backup.
Correct answer is H; there is no transaction log backups and the only available differential backup is corrupt.

d may also be the answer. because at 1 pm differential backup was created and at 2 pm database failed

You’re wrong. Differential backup failed.

The answer is definitely H…because we don’t have any consistent differential backup (cause it failed) and we have only the last backup available
