    A backup policy is configured with 'Collect true image restore information' and 'with move detection' enabled. The backup schedule consists of a monthly full, a weekly cumulative incremental, and a daily differential incremental. A file that was created on Monday and last modified on Tuesday is deleted on Thursday. To restore the most recent version of this file, from which backup images will NetBackup need to read data?

    Correct answer: B

    A True Image Restore synthesizes the state of the file system at a specific point in time. To restore the file as it existed on Wednesday (before deletion), NetBackup needs the baseline from the most recent full backup (Sunday) and the last version of the file, which was backed up in the Tuesday differential incremental. The Wednesday backup would not contain the file as it hadn't changed since Tuesday. The Monday backup contains the original creation, but the Tuesday version supersedes it.
