Another advantage of databased management system is that the system takes care automatically
for the backup and recovery. The system does the backup by itself without the help of the user.

However a disadvantage of DBMS is that it can cost a lot depending on what the system
constrains.The system can costs a lot because it system it depends on high speed processors and a
large amount of storage.

Another disadvantage is that the Longbridge school might have to pay for staff training this is
because using this system is much more complex that using a normal system. This is a advantage
because the school will have to pay more money on training the staff on how to properly use the
systems.

because it will help the teachers to store all the powerpoint that are for the lessons on a safe
storage also it will help the staff keep all the information needed from each it the students data
such as storage and contact information.They should buy theses systems because it will help them
to keep their data safe even if they are experiencing a virus which deletes data, this is because the
DBMS will backup Longbridge data without a problem.
