Question#5
An administrator was asked to change the snapshot schedule for a given database. The administrator discovered that the time machine is in a paused state.
How should the administrator change the schedule?
A. Select the Time Machine; under Action select Update end define an appropriate schedule.
B. Clone the Time Machine and define an appropriate schedule for the clone.
C. Select Time Machine: Under actions Resume the Time Machine and then Update to define an appropriate schedule.
D. Clone the database and define an appropriate schedule for the clone.
Explanation:
According to the Nutanix Database Automation (NCP-DB) learning documents, an administrator can change the snapshot schedule for a given database by selecting the Time Machine, then under Action, select Update and define an appropriate schedule1. This is because the Time Machine in Nutanix Era allows you to specify the number of backups or snapshots the time machine should take, the time of day it takes those snapshots, and the day of the week it takes weekly or monthly backups1. These options help you build a complete schedule of time machine capture operations1. Even if the Time Machine is in a paused state, the administrator can still update the schedule1. Cloning the Time Machine or the database is not necessary for changing the snapshot schedule1.
