You are managing a Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL instance. You need to ensure you can recover the database to a specific point in time within the last 7 days in case of accidental data deletion. Which TWO features must be enabled? (Select TWO)

Answer options:

Automated backups

High Availability (Regional) configuration

Point-in-time recovery (Write-Ahead Logging)

Read Replicas

Cloud Storage export

How to approach this question

Identify the two Cloud SQL features required to restore a database to an exact timestamp.

Full Answer

Automated backups Point-in-time recovery (Write-Ahead Logging)

To perform a point-in-time recovery (PITR) in Cloud SQL, you must have automated backups enabled. PITR uses the automated backup as a base, and then replays the Write-Ahead Logs (WAL) up to the exact timestamp you specify. Therefore, both Automated Backups and Point-in-time recovery must be enabled.

Common mistakes

Selecting High Availability, thinking it protects against human error (data deletion). HA only protects against infrastructure failure.
