PAS-C01 Operations and Maintenance Practice Question
A company is running SAP HANA on AWS and needs to ensure that the database can be recovered to a specific point in time within the last 24 hours. Which backup strategy should be used?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Full backups plus log backups every 5 minutes
Full plus log backups enable point-in-time recovery. Option A is wrong because single snapshot does not allow point-in-time. Option B is wrong because full backups only restore to backup time. Option C is wrong because daily full backups only restore to the time of the backup, not point-in-time.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Incremental backups using Backint
Why it's wrong here
Incremental backups alone do not provide point-in-time recovery because they only capture changes since the last backup and require a full backup to restore.
- ✗
Daily full EBS snapshots
Why it's wrong here
Daily full EBS snapshots only provide recovery to the snapshot time, not point-in-time within the day.
- ✗
Daily SAP HANA full backups
Why it's wrong here
Daily SAP HANA full backups only allow restoration to the backup time, not any point in time within the last 24 hours.
- ✓
Full backups plus log backups every 5 minutes
Why this is correct
This combination enables point-in-time recovery by allowing the database to be restored to any point between full backups using log backups.
