To capture database transaction logs in NDB, the Log Catch-up operation within the Time Machine is used. Log Catch-up retrieves and applies transaction logs (e.g., PostgreSQL WAL, SQL Server logs) to a snapshot, ensuring the database can be restored to a specific point in time. This operation bridges gaps between snapshots by incorporating log data, maintaining a continuous recovery chain.
Other options are incorrect:
A. Write-Ahead Logging: A database feature (e.g., in PostgreSQL), not an NDB Time Machine operation.
B. Log Flush: Refers to writing logs to disk, not capturing them for recovery.
Thus, the verified answer is C, aligning with NDB’s log management.
