Portable restore from TDP for Databases (SQL) ?

2011-03-30 Thread Rick Adamson
We have a remote vendor who sends updates to a SQL db that lives on one of our SQL servers. From time-to-time the updates are determined undesirable and before performing a restore in production we want to be able to send them a portable copy so they can determine the root cause of the problem bef

Rick, One thing to understand about SQL Server legacy (VDI) backups: The backups are a "stream of bytes". Data Protection for SQL does not read and write files. The SQL Server gives Data Protection for SQL a stream of bytes at backup time, and Data Protection for SQL gives the SQL Server those str

Stephan, To my mind it is not the "set event" command that changed licensing scheme on your machine, but very probably a "SET ARCHIVERETENTIONPROTECTION" command, which basically transforms TSM server into SSAM (archiving system). This can verified with "q status" searching for "Archive Retentio

>From what I understand, you want to send a copy of your DB over to a vendor before performing a modification. Instead of using TSM, why not use the internal DB processes for doing this? (BAK files for MS SQL) Continue using TDP for your internal backups but use the disk-based BAK files for these

Now there's a concept, test before change :). This vendor is obviously more reactive than proactive. In this situation they usually determine they have hosed the db, then need the active backup for their tests and later for recovery. I have suggested that we question their practices but at least up

Be sure to perform any MS SQL (i.e., non-TDP) backups with the COPY_ONLY directive so as not to invalidate your ongoing TDP backups (i.e., not interrupting the log sequence number). David Mc London, UK On 30 Mar 2011, at 15:41, Shawn Drew wrote: > From what I understand, you want to send a co
