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?
In-place restoration would best accomplish the goal because it allows the recovery of the deleted file directly to its original location without requiring any interruption to the database server's operations. This method would be the least disruptive since it does not involve moving data between locations or reverting to states that could affect other data on the server.
Directly from the CompTIA material on alternate location restores: "The production server is still up and in use, so you need to restore data to another location."
A. Alternate location: This method allows the administrator to restore the deleted file to a different location, ensuring that the server's current operations remain unaffected. Once the file is restored, it can be moved or copied to its original location.
