Answer Area

Drag items

Create a new user-defined restore point.Restore the latest automatic restore point to a new data warehouse.Pause the restored data warehouse.Restore the copy from the latest automatic restore point to the current data warehouse.Restore the copy from the new user-defined restore point to a new data warehouse.

Correct arrangement

  • Create a new user-defined restore point.
  • Restore the copy from the new user-defined restore point to a new data warehouse.
  • Pause the restored data warehouse.

Explanation

The correct sequence is: (1) Create a new user-defined restore point to capture the exact current state of the data warehouse, (2) Restore the copy from the new user-defined restore point to a new data warehouse to create the copy, and (3) Pause the restored data warehouse to minimize costs while keeping it available for 28 days. User-defined restore points are preferred over automatic restore points because they capture a precise snapshot at a known moment, and pausing the restored warehouse stops compute billing while retaining all data for the required retention period.
