Question
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?
- A. Query the database to observe entries.
- B. Check the database schema.
- C. Review the backup media.
- D. Review the server logs for entries. Correct
Explanation
The database server and backup job logs record when each backup job started, finished and whether it succeeded, so reviewing them confirms that backups ran daily at the scheduled times. Querying the database or checking the schema says nothing about backup jobs, and looking at the backup media shows that files exist but not reliably when or whether each scheduled job completed.
