Question

Options

• A
  • Continuous log retention (days): 7
• B
  • Continuous log retention (days): 5
• C
  • Weekly snapshot retention (weeks): 1
• D
  • Daily snapshot retention (days): 7

• A
  5% (1)
• B
  18% (4)
• C
  5% (1)
• D
  73% (16)

Explanation

The correct answer is D because it meets the requirements of maintaining five days of time-travel capability to any second and an additional seven days of discrete recovery at a daily interval. Continuous log retention allows the administrator to restore the database to any point in time within the specified number of days, while snapshot retention allows the administrator to restore the database to a specific point in time at a fixed interval. Therefore, by setting the daily snapshot retention to 7 days, the administrator can ensure that there is a discrete recovery point for each day of the week. By setting the continuous log retention to 5 days, the administrator can ensure that there is a time-travel capability to any second within the last five days. The other options do not meet the requirements because they either have less than five days of continuous log retention or less than seven days of snapshot retention.
