QUESTION 126
You administer a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 instance that contains a financial database hosted on a storage area network (SAN). The financial database has the following characteristics:
- A data file of 2 terabytes is located on a dedicated LUN (drive D).
- A transaction log of 10 GB is located on a dedicated LUN (drive E).

Backup operations will be performed every two hours (11:00, 13:00, 15:00, and 17:00) during business hours.

QUESTION 134
Drag and Drop Question
You administer a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 database.
The database is backed up according to the following schedule:
- Daily full backup at 23:00 hours.
- Differential backups on the hour, except at 23:00 hours.

You need to restore the database by using the minimum amount of administrative effort.
You also need to ensure minimal data loss.
Which three actions should you perform in sequence? (To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.)
