Study with 070-462 Actual Test Questions

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 minimum amount of data is lost.
Which recovery model should the database use?

• A. CONTINUE_AFTER_ERROR
• B. RESTART
• C. FULL
• D. NORECOVERY
• E. NO_CHECKSUM
• F. SIMPLE
• G. BULK_LOGGED
• H. DBO_ONLY
• I. COPY_ONLY
• J. STANDBY
• K. Transaction log
• L. CHECKSUM
• M. Differential
• N. SKIP

You administer a Microsoft SQL Server database.
Every Sunday afternoon, a process inserts a large volume of data. Users generate reports and modify additional data throughout the week.
You need to create a backup strategy that:
* minimizes the size of the transaction log,
* minimizes the size of the backups, and
* ensures a 24-hour recovery point objective (RPO).
Which strategy or strategies should you use? (To answer, drag the appropriate strategy or strategies to their corresponding task or tasks in the answer area. Answer choices may be used once, more than once, or not at all. Answer targets may be used once or not at all. Additionally, you may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content.)

Explanation

Recovery Model: Full recovery model
Only the Full recovery model provides a 24-hour recovery point objective.
Sunday backup: Full backup
Nightly backup: Transactional log backup
