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
✓
Use striped backups
Using the 'WITH MOVE' and 'FILE=' options is standard, but using multiple backup files ('striped backups') allows for parallel reading and writing during the restore process, significantly increasing speed.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Disable antivirus
Why it's wrong here
While this might help slightly, it is not the primary mechanism for database restore optimization.
- ✓
Use striped backups
Why this is correct
Restoring from multiple backup files concurrently increases IO throughput and reduces restore time.
- ✗
Run in single-user mode
Why it's wrong here
Single-user mode is for administrative maintenance, not performance optimization.
- ✗
Increase the recovery interval
Why it's wrong here
This affects startup time, not restore speed.
