Shannabeth Paine SYM-400 Professor Doyle 08/25/2023 Data Disk Storage, Backup, and Recovery In 200–250 words, explain the process of storing database data on a disk. 1. Using what you have learned from the topic Resources, run a complete backup of the database. Take screenshots of each step used to execute the backup process. Paste the screenshots into the Word document as a record of the process. Databases from Microsoft SQL Server are contained in two folders on the disk: a record file and a log file. Main or secondary data files can be included. The primary files contain database startup details and point to other files in the database. This file will store user data and artifacts and each database has one primary data file. Secondary data files are optional and can be used by placing each file on a separate disk drive to distribute data through several files/disks. SQL may have just one main data file, but to keep the data balanced, I can have as many separate data and log files as possible. The details files are split down into 8KB pages. That in memory and on disk is the smallest storage unit. Only one table is devoted to each page. SQL Server assigns pages to all data files if many data files occur inside a filegroup, relying on a round-robin mechanism called the proportional fill algorithm. The sum of data on each page will be calculated depending on the free space that each page has now. In general, both pages can fill up at the same time. 2. Run a complete restore of the database. Take screenshots of each step used to complete the restore process. Paste the screenshots into the Word document as a record of the process.
