Before completing your data management draft project,

$1.$ Please describe the hardware environment for the database you are designing. Will the database be centralized or distributed? Will you use cloud computing or private servers? What vendor technology do you plan to use for the DBMS software and the database hardware.

$2.$ Describe the factors, such as performance, cost, and security, you considered for choosing the hardware environment.

$3.$ How does your choice of hardware environment fit with or change the backup plan you submitted on the week $5$ discussion board?

Backup and Recovery Plan

from week $5$:

Backup:

Full database backups: Perform weekly or bi$-$weekly full database backups.

Incremental backups: Perform daily or multiple incremental backups to capture the latest changes.

Backup storage: Store backup files in a secure$,$ off$-$site location.

Recovery:

Transaction$-$level recovery: Restore individual transactions in the event of errors or data corruption.

Full database recovery: Restore my entire database from the latest full backup and apply incremental backups to bring my database to the desired state.
