Answer:

Explanation:

Box 1: Full and log backups only

Make sure to take every backup on a separate backup media (backup files). Azure Database Migration Service doesn’t support backups that are appended to a single backup file. Take full backup and log backups to separate backup files.

Box 2: WITH CHECKSUM

Azure Database Migration Service uses the backup and restore method to migrate your on-premises databases to SQL Managed Instance. Azure Database Migration Service only supports backups created using checksum.

Incorrect Answers:

NOINIT Indicates that the backup set is appended to the specified media set, preserving existing backup sets. If a media password is defined for the media set, the password must be supplied. NOINIT is the default.

UNLOAD

Specifies that the tape is automatically rewound and unloaded when the backup is finished. UNLOAD is the default when a session begins.
