Management Tool?
2. While backing up a database to a tape drive, the tape runs out of
space. You
replace the tape. Referring to the scenario above, what is the

The database will be the database where the customers table is located. You
don't have to name your virtual directory with the same name as the database
and the IIS Virtual Directory Management Tool allows you to create that
mapping.

You will be prompted for the contiuation tape which once loaded you should
acknowledged Label and keep the tapes and when restoring the database load
the last tape first.

Clustered tables and indexed views keep their data rows in order based on
the clustered index key

REPLACE will overwrite a database/datafile with the same name if they
already exist and bypasses checks that are made if you don't specify it.
You may want to check out books online for more detailed explanations.

here is details about those questions
1. If you want to be able access the customers table directly from a Web
browser,
what database name must you configure in with the IIS Virtual Directory
Management Tool?
Choice 1
Dbobject
Choice 2
Xpath
Choice 3
Schema
Choice 4
Direct
Choice 5
Template
2. While backing up a database to a tape drive, the tape runs out of space.
You
replace the tape. Referring to the scenario above, what is the correct
way to
complete thebackup?
Choice 1
Repeat the previous backup command, adding the BEGIN option.
Choice 2
Repeat the previous backup command, adding the INIT option.
Choice 3
Repeat the previous backup command, adding the NOINIT option.
Choice 4
Repeat the previous backup command, adding the RESTART option.
Choice 5
Repeat the previous backup command, adding the BACKUP option.
Following is general question of my own not from any test
What is different between Cluster and non cluster.
When do you need to use the REPLACE switch while restoring databases?
Thanks

I would expect this to be RESTART.
