INTRODUCTION

A DBA aims to ensure that a database is open and available when users require it, that is why you should
anticipate and work on the common causes of failures by validating the different situations that may
arise and ensuring that the data are protected. In this laboratory activities will be carried out aimed at
the generation of backup copies, accompanied by procedures for the restoration and recovery of a
database from different scenarios that recreate the common problems that may arise due to the
intervention of users or of exogenous variables. related to the operation and maintenance of
information.

The DBMS must provide tools to prevent or correct error or failures, provided that an update is carried
out, it must be certain that the database is without errors, that is, consistent, the purpose of a recovery
system is to restore the base of data in which there is no error, an optimal state, after detecting any
error or incorrect or suspicious status. The databases provide certain possibilities of backup and
recovery, given by a configuration which is based on characteristics of operability and availability On the
other hand, the requirements of the entities and areas of the same must be taken into account. The
main objective of the recovery and backups of this service is to assess the instance in which each base is
particularly located, then exposes and proposes the best support model that can be provided for each
user or entity and guaranteeing the percentage of loss of information will be the minimum possible.

RECOVERY

A recovery system consists of restoring the BD to a correct state, of a fault that leaves it in an incorrect
state. Recovery of a database "restore the DB to a safe and stable state".

Back

It consists in the generation of a backup or copy of the data in a magnetic medium or in the cloud, in
such a way that starting from that backup it is feasible to restore the system at the moment in which the
backup was made. The backups should be generated regularly and through a pre-established schedule,
in a responsible and truthful manner.

Why backups

There are many advantages to backing up SQL Server databases, the DBMS has a backup and
restoration component of SQL, which provides a fundamental protection for critical data stored in
databases. To minimize the risk of information loss it is necessary to make backup copies of the
databases, storing updates or modifications of the data periodically. A good backup program and the
correct restoration greatly enhances the protection of databases against the loss of information caused
by different types of errors. With the valid backups of a database it is feasible to recover the information
in case of errors, for example:
