What should you do?

You administer a Microsoft SQL Server 2016 server that hosts a transactional database and a reporting database.

The transactional database is updated through a web application and is operational throughout the day.

The reporting database is only updated from the transactional database.

The recovery model and backup schedule are configured as shown in the following table:

The differential backup of the reporting database fails.

Then, the reporting database fails at 14:00 hours.

You need to ensure that the reporting database is restored.

You also need to ensure that data loss is minimal.
