I see your point, Vanesa. But I still think replacing the source volume with the snapshot volume is the best option in terms of efficiency.

That's a good point, Cecily. But wouldn't that take longer to complete compared to just replacing the source volume?

I believe copying all database files to the source volume might be a safer option, to ensure nothing gets lost during the restore process.

I agree with Vanesa, replacing the source volume with the snapshot volume seems like the most efficient way to restore the database.

I heard that NDB replaces source volume with specific db disks for this operation.

Sounds good to me. Though I have to say, this question has me feeling like I'm playing a game of 'guess the database admin's thought process'. Hopefully, the real exam won't be this much of a mind-bender!

Yeah, me neither. I'm guessing it has something to do with the way NDB manages the different database files, but I'm not confident enough to pick an answer just yet.

Hmm, this question seems a bit tricky. I'm not entirely sure about the specifics of how NDB handles database restores when multiple databases share the same source volume.
