Name the four basic facilities a DBMS must provide for backup and recovery.
Answer
Backup facility, journalizing facility, checkpoint facility, and a recovery manager.
Backup gives the baseline copy; journalizing (transaction log + change log with before/after images) records the changes; checkpointing bounds reprocessing; the recovery manager orchestrates undo/redo.
