In this way, the DPM will detect the server in which the availability group is active and get the backup using the correct node. You can select all the databases under Instance, you can also select all the databases within the AG or only specific databases you want. After making the necessary selections, click next. Express Full Backup: how often and which days to get full backup. You can specify it by clciking Modify. Here it calculates how much disk space it should allocate.
After the calculation is over, it will be activated next. It turned out ok. Again, I will only highlight differences since the whole process is more or less the same.
On Exchange Server files ese. After that backup went on. So, I selected Ex1 instance for full backup, and Ex2 instance for copy backup. Do that on all of your SQL servers which are part of the backup. Confirm with yes and let it roll.
Ok, this error appears when you have Always On replica. Ok, we are done with the backups, everything is in green and we can proceed to the recovery section. This is already getting too long, so I will just quickly show how to recover data from the backups we just created. I will quickly show how to recover files and databases here.
Select date you wish to recover to and time you wish to recover to. I have deleted file NewBeginnings. Right click on it — Recover. I backed up AlwaysON database. What I see here in this type of scenario as fastest and best way out is to just create file share and copy DB to that file share.
This is the fastest way if you are in situation like this. After the February 1st, Gitlab incident, in which six hours of production data were accidentally deleted, the importance of making and maintaining adequate system backups became very clear to the world.
As we saw in that incident, a lot of companies make backups. What they seem to forget is that backups are just one part of the equation. It's equally important to consider how those backups will be accessed during an outage, whether it will be possible to restore them in a timely fashion, and what tests need to be consistently run to ensure adequate restore.
If you work within a Microsoft ecosystem, then Data Protection Manager DPM is a powerful option for creating and managing backups of all of your data. You can configure DPM to back up your folders and volumes, create full system backups, initiate backups of workloads like SQL Server or Exchange, backup entire Hyper-V virtual machines, and more. After you restore and synchronize the DPM database and before you restore the replica, run the following command to reallocate disk space for the replica:.
Example 2: To restore the DPM database from a remote database. Run the following command on the remote computer:. After you restore and synchronize the DPM database and before you restore the replica, run the following command on the DPM Server to reallocate disk space for the replica:.

Download Microsoft Edge More info. Contents Exit focus mode. Note To switch the protection back to the primary server, do the same steps as above. Multiple locations of the backup database files. Cloud storage provides a robust solution for disaster recovery. Very secure storage for the database. Supports online recovery points. Requires Azure account and additional DPM configuration. Incurs some cost for Azure storage.
This can't be another DPM server. Not an option if the database is hosted locally and you want to enable secondary protection. A workaround would be to use a remote SQL Server to host the database.
Some extra preparation and recovery time is incurred. Back up the database by backing up the DPM storage pool Simple to configure and monitor. The backup is kept on the DPM storage pool disks and is easy to access locally. DPM scheduled backups support express full backups. If you back up hourly you'll have 21 days of full protection. Not a good option for disaster recovery. It's online and recovery might not work as expected if the DPM server or storage pool disk fails.
Some preparation and special steps are required to gain access to the recovery points if the DPM service or console isn't running or working. If done hourly, this provides 21 days of short term protection. If done every 30 minutes, it provides 10 days of protection. The backup is kept on the secondary DPM server storage pool disks which are locally accessible. Provides a good disaster recovery solution if secondary DPM server is offsite. Additional DPM server and storage are required.
Back up to tape Easily configured and monitored in DPM. DPM scheduled tape backups support retention up to 99 years.
Tape backup can be taken offsite for disaster recovery. Tape can be encrypted for secure storage. Only one tape backup per day can be scheduled. You need a working DPM server with a tape library to be able to read a DPM backup tape that contains the copy of the database you want to restore. Some preparation and special steps are required to gain access to the tape based recovery points.
The backup is kept on a local disk which is easily accessible. It can be scheduled to run as often as you like. Totally independent of DPM. You can schedule a backup file cleanup. Not a good option for disaster recovery unless the backups are copied to a remote location. Requires local storage for backups which may limit retention and frequency.
Easily accessible from any Windows machine on the network.
