1. In which of the following backup strategies is a backup taken of the 1/1
full database irrespective of the previous backup?
A. A full backup
B. A differential backup
C. A day's end backup
D. An incremental backup
Feedback
Answer: A. A full backup.
Explanation: In a full backup, a data backup is taken every time for a full database
irrespective of the previous backup. In an incremental backup, a backup is only taken of
new data created since the last backup (the last backup can be either a full backup or an
incremental backup). In a differential backup, a backup is only taken of data that has
changed since the last full backup (the last backup should be a full backup only). The
grandfather-father-son rotation is a method of media rotation and not a backup scheme.
2. In which of the following backup strategies is a backup only taken of 1/1
new data created after either a full backup or an incremental backup?
A. A full backup
B. A differential backup
C. A grandfather-father-son rotation backup
D. An incremental backup
Feedback
Answer: D. An incremental backup.
Explanation: In an incremental backup, a backup is only taken of new data created since
the last backup (the last backup can be either a full backup or an incremental backup). In a
differential backup, a backup is only taken of data that has changed since the last full
backup (the last backup should be a full backup only).

3. In which of the following backup strategies is a backup only taken of 1/1
new data created after a full backup (an incremental backup is ignored)?
A. A full backup
B. A differential backup
C. A grandfather-father-son rotation backup
D. An incremental backup
Feedback
Answer: B. A differential backup.
Explanation: In a differential backup, a backup is only taken of data that has changed since
the last full backup (the last backup should be a full backup only).

4. The backup strategy that demands the highest media capacity for 1/1
backup storage is:
A. a full backup
B. a differential backup
C. a grandfather-father-son rotation backup
D. an incremental backup
Feedback
Answer: A. A full backup.
Explanation: In a full backup, a data backup of the full database is taken every time,
irrespective of the previous backup. However, a full backup scheme requires more time
and media capacity for backup storage. The advantage of a full backup scheme is its ease
of restoration due to its unique repository.
Let's now understand the requirement for time and media capacity in relation to various
data storage schemes:
Full backup: Requires more time and storage capacity compared with the other two
schemes.
Differential: Requires less time and storage capacity compared with the full backup, but
more time and storage capacity compared with incremental backup. Incremental: Requires
less time and storage capacity compared with the other two schemes.

5. The most effective and fastest backup strategy for data restoration is: 0/1
A. a full backup
B. a differential backup
C. a grandfather-father-son rotation backup
D. an incremental backup
Correct answer
A. a full backup
Feedback
Answer: A. A full backup.
Explanation: In a full backup, a data backup of the full database is taken every time,
irrespective of the previous backup. The advantage of a full backup scheme is its ease of
restoration due to its unique repository. However, a full backup scheme requires more time
and media capacity for backup storage.
Let's understand the effectiveness of the various schemes in the case of data restoration:
Full backup: The fastest of all three schemes
Differential: Slower than a full backup, but faster than an incremental backup Incremental:
The slowest of all three schemes
