Which statement best describes what happens when a 3rd-party backup tool is chosen to manage log backups for Microsoft SQL in NDB?
Answer(s): B
NDB supports two modes of log backup management for Microsoft SQL databases: NDB-managed and 3rd-party managed. In the NDB-managed mode, NDB takes full control of the log backups and stores them in the Cerebro log location. In the 3rd-party managed mode, NDB allows the use of external backup tools to backup the logs from the database log destination. However, NDB still needs to capture the logs for its own operations, such as point-in-time recovery, clone refresh, and log catch-up. Therefore, NDB will periodically scan the database log destination and copy the logs to the Cerebro log location. This process requires that the log catch-up begins before the logs get backed up by the 3rd-party tool, otherwise NDB will miss some logs and the operations will fail. If the 3rd-party tool grants exclusive access to the logs, then NDB will not be able to capture them at all, and the operations will not be supported.

An administrator needs to restore a source database from a snapshot. The database shares the source volume with multiple other databases.How does NDB handle this database restore operation?
Answer(s): A
The correct answer is A because NDB handles the database restore operation by copying the specific database files from the snapshot volume to the source volume, without affecting the other databases that share the same source volume. NDB uses a copy-on-write mechanism to create snapshots and clones, which means that only the changes made to the database files are stored in the snapshot or clone volume, while the original files are kept in the source volume. Therefore, when restoring a source database from a snapshot, NDB only needs to copy the specific database files that have been modified since the snapshot was taken, and overwrite them on the source volume. The other options are not correct because they either cause data loss or unnecessary data transfer. Option B is not correct because replacing the source volume with specific db disks would erase the other databases that share the same source volume, which is not desirable. Option C is not correct because replacing the source volume with the snapshot volume would also erase the other databases that share the same source volume, as well as any changes made to the source database after the snapshot was taken, which is not desirable. Option D is not correct because copying all database files to the source volume would be inefficient and unnecessary, as only the modified files need to be copied, and the other files are already present on the source volume.

When trying to restore a database via Time Machine (TM), the option to restore data to a Point in Time is not available.What should the administrator do to enable Point in Time Recovery?
Point in Time Recovery (PITR) is a feature of NDB that allows restoring a database to any point in time within the retention period of the SLA. To enable PITR, the SLA must support Continuous Log retention, which means that NDB captures and stores the database logs continuously. This allows NDB to replay the logs from the last snapshot to the desired point in time during the restore process. The other options do not enable PITR, but rather affect the frequency and timing of the snapshots and log catch up operations.

Which two encryption methods can be used when configuring an SMTP server? (Choose two.)
Answer(s): A,B
NDB supports SMTP server configuration for sending email notifications and alerts. SMTP server configuration requires specifying the SMTP server address, port, username, password, and encryption method. The encryption method determines how the email messages are secured during transmission. NDB supports two encryption methods for SMTP server configuration: TLS and SSL. TLS (Transport Layer Security) is a protocol that encrypts and authenticates data between the email client and the SMTP server. TLS can operate in two modes: explicit and implicit. In explicit mode, the email client and the SMTP server negotiate the encryption method and parameters after establishing a plain text connection. This mode typically uses port 587. In implicit mode, the email client and the SMTP server assume that the connection is encrypted from the start, without any negotiation. This mode typically uses port 465.SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a predecessor of TLS that also encrypts and authenticates data between the email client and the SMTP server. SSL operates in implicit mode only, and uses port 465 by default. SSL is less secure than TLS, but it is still widely used and supported by many email providers. S/MIME (Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) is a standard that encrypts and signs email messages at the application layer, rather than the transport layer. S/MIME requires the use of digital certificates and public key cryptography to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of email messages. S/MIME is not a valid encryption method for SMTP server configuration, as it does not affect the connection between the email client and the SMTP server. IPsec (Internet Protocol Security) is a suite of protocols that secures IP packets at the network layer, rather than the application or transport layer. IPsec can encrypt and authenticate data between any two IP endpoints, such as routers, firewalls, or hosts. IPsec is not a valid encryption method for SMTP server configuration, as it does not apply to the specific protocol or port used by SMTP.
