Esri EAEP2201 Exam - Topic 1 Question 12 Discussion

Actual exam question for Esri's EAEP2201 exam

Question #: 12
Topic #: 1

A client wants to perform incremental webgisdr backups daily and full backups weekly. They store all data in the relational ArcGIS Data Store, with no tile or map caches.

Which action is required to enable incremental backups?

AIncrease the heap size of ArcGIS Data Store

BEnable point-in-time recovery on ArcGIS Data Store

CDecrease the max connections during backups

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

To perform incremental backups using the webgisdr tool, point-in-time recovery must be enabled on the relational data store. This creates transaction logs needed for differential backups and aligns with best practices for enterprise-level backup strategies.

From Esri documentation:

''Incremental backups can only be used with a relational data store when point-in-time recovery is enabled. This enables transaction log capture needed for delta backups.''

Option A is unrelated to backup functionality.

Option C is not required unless performance tuning is needed.

I remember practicing a similar question where we had to configure backups, and I think increasing the heap size was mentioned, but I don't see how that relates here.

I think enabling point-in-time recovery is crucial for incremental backups, but I'm not entirely sure if it's the only step needed.
