Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • Differential backups only

    Why it's wrong here

    Differential backups only allow recovery to the time of the differential backup.

  • Full and Transaction Log backups

    Why this is correct

    Transaction logs capture all changes, enabling recovery to any specific point in time between backups.

  • Full backups only

    Why it's wrong here

    Full backups only allow recovery to the time of the full backup.

  • Copy-only backups

    Why it's wrong here

    Copy-only backups do not interfere with the log chain and are not intended for point-in-time recovery.
