Now you are employed in a company named NaproStar which uses SQL Server 2008. You work as the technical support. Now you are in charge of a SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services (SSRS) instance. Some reports are included in the instance. The reports access data from a SQL Server 2008 instance by using stored credentials. There is a computer which contains an instance. The computer experiences hardware failure, after it recovers, you install a new SSRS instance on it. Now you must make sure that the reports hosted on the instance can still function correctly.

Explanation

When faced with a system failure where you lose your SSRS instance and/or database, you will: * first need to reinstall SSRS. * After the installation is complete, you can optionally restore the latest backup of your report server catalog database (if it was also lost). * After the service and catalog databases are in place, * your final step is to restore the encryption key onto the newly installed instance of SSRS. This will enable the report server to be able to decrypt the catalog security, reports, and data
