A database administrator needs to ensure database backups are occurring on a daily basis and at scheduled times. Which of the following actions should the administrator take?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

The action that the administrator should take is to review the server logs for entries. Server logs are files that record the events and activities that occur on a server, such as database backups, errors, warnings, or failures. By reviewing the server logs, the administrator can verify that the database backups are occurring on a daily basis and at scheduled times, and also identify any issues or anomalies that may affect the backup process or the backup quality. The other options are either not relevant or not sufficient for this task. For example, querying the database to observe entries may not show the backup status or frequency, checking the database schema may not reflect the backup schedule or policy, and reviewing the backup media may not indicate the backup time or duration.Reference:CompTIA DataSys+ Course Outline, Domain 5.0 Business Continuity, Objective 5.2 Given a scenario, implement backup and restoration of database management systems.

I disagree, querying the database won't show backup status.

I think reviewing the backup media is crucial, but I also wonder if checking the schema could provide insights into the backup process.

I feel like querying the database wouldn't really show if backups are happening, but I can't recall why exactly.

I remember a practice question where we had to ensure backups were scheduled, and reviewing the backup media seemed important then.

I think checking the server logs might help, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the best first step.
