I see your point, Vanesa. But I still think replacing the source volume with the snapshot volume is the best option in terms of efficiency.

That's a good point, Cecily. But wouldn't that take longer to complete compared to just replacing the source volume?

I believe copying all database files to the source volume might be a safer option, to ensure nothing gets lost during the restore process.

I agree with Vanesa, replacing the source volume with the snapshot volume seems like the most efficient way to restore the database.

Sure, this approach ensures that only the specific database is restored without affecting other databases sharing the volume.

I heard that NDB replaces source volume with specific db disks for this operation.

Sounds good to me. Though I have to say, this question has me feeling like I'm playing a game of 'guess the database admin's thought process'. Hopefully, the real exam won't be this much of a mind-bender!

Yeah, me neither. I'm guessing it has something to do with the way NDB manages the different database files, but I'm not confident enough to pick an answer just yet.

Hmm, this question seems a bit tricky. I'm not entirely sure about the specifics of how NDB handles database restores when multiple databases share the same source volume.
