CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 211

A non-critical file on a database server was deleted and needs to be recovered. A cloud administrator must use the least disruptive restoration process to retrieve the file, as the database server cannot be stopped during the business day. Which of the following restoration methods would BEST accomplish this goal?

Answer options

• A. Alternate location
• B. Restore from image
• C. Revert to snapshot
• D. In-place restoration

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The best option is to use an 'Alternate location' for recovery, which allows the file to be restored without affecting the ongoing operations of the database server. The other methods, such as 'Restore from image' and 'In-place restoration', could potentially disrupt the server's functionality, while 'Revert to snapshot' may not target the specific file needed.
