A network administrator needs to restore a critical network monitoring server after a hard drive failure on Thursday morning. The backup strategy consists of a full backup performed every Sunday at midnight and incremental backups performed each night from Monday through Wednesday at midnight. Place the backup recovery steps in the correct sequential order required to fully restore the system.
- 1Restore the Sunday full backup
- 2Restore the Monday incremental backup
- 3Restore the Tuesday incremental backup
- 4Restore the Wednesday incremental backup
Answer
To restore a system managed with incremental backups, first restore the latest full backup (Sunday), followed by each incremental backup in chronological order (Monday, then Tuesday, then Wednesday).
An incremental backup sets up a chain where each backup relies on the previous one. To recover the system completely, the baseline full backup from Sunday must be restored first, followed by every individual incremental backup taken since then (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday) in chronological order.
