Multiple Databases as a Group with One Time Machine

BPITR-based SLAs are not supported for database groups containing mixed Recovery Model

CPoint in Time Clones are not supported by Database Groups.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

Nutanix Database Automation (NCP-DB) introduces the concept of MS SQL Server database groups, which allows multiple databases running in the same database instance to be grouped as one Time Machine entity1.This applies to both single DB Server VM setups, standalone databases, as well as to Availability Group databases1. However, it does not support Point In Time Recovery (PITR)-based Service Level Agreements (SLAs) for database groups containing mixed Recovery Models. This means that if the databases within the group have different recovery models, PITR-based SLAs cannot be applied to the group as a whole.

I'm going with A. PITR-based SLAs are supported for database groups containing mixed Recovery Model. Why else would they give us that specific detail in the question? Gotta read between the lines, you know?

Haha, C is a classic trick question. Of course Point in Time Clones are not supported by Database Groups. That's like asking if a unicorn can fly a helicopter - it just doesn't make sense!

D seems more logical to me. PITR-based SLAs are not supported for database groups in general, regardless of the Recovery Model. Who cares about mixed Recovery Model when the whole group thing is the issue?

Exactly, the focus is on the database group as a whole.

Yeah, it doesn't matter if the Recovery Model is mixed.

I think the correct answer is B. PITR-based SLAs are not supported for database groups containing mixed Recovery Model. The question specifically mentions 'Multiple Databases as a Group with One Time Machine', which implies a mixed Recovery Model scenario.
