Backup and Recovery Q005

Your company has a relatively static database that is refreshed monthly. Recovery time is not an issue with the users. Which backup approach should you follow?

a. Perform backups less frequently than a company with high data update activity.
b. Perform backups more frequently than a company with high data update activity.
c. Perform backups each time the database is changed.
d. Backups are not necessary because the data doen not change enough.



Answer A: Depending on the required recovery time, a fairly static database will need less frequent backups than a highly volatile database. Answer b is therefore invalid. Answer c is invalid because a static database that is refreshed monthly does not require taking a backup each time the database is changed. Answer d is incorrect because backups are still necessary, just not as frequent for a static database that doesn't change frequently.
