function Test-DbaLastBackup { <# .SYNOPSIS Quickly and easily tests the last set of full backups for a server. .DESCRIPTION Restores all or some of the latest backups and performs a DBCC CHECKDB. 1. Gathers information about the last full backups 2. Restores the backups to the Destination with a new name. If no Destination is specified, the originating SQL Server instance wil be used. 3. The database is restored as "dbatools-testrestore-$databaseName" by default, but you can change dbatools-testrestore to whatever you would like using -Prefix 4. The internal file names are also renamed to prevent conflicts with original database 5. A DBCC CHECKDB is then performed 6. And the test database is finally dropped .PARAMETER SqlInstance The target SQL Server instance or instances. Unlike many of the other commands, you cannot specify more than one server. .PARAMETER Destination The destination server to use to test the restore. By default, the Destination will be set to the source server If a different Destination server is specified, you must ensure that the database backups are on a shared location .PARAMETER SqlCredential Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Accepts PowerShell credentials (Get-Credential). Windows Authentication, SQL Server Authentication, Active Directory - Password, and Active Directory - Integrated are all supported. For MFA support, please use Connect-DbaInstance. .PARAMETER DestinationCredential Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Accepts PowerShell credentials (Get-Credential). Windows Authentication, SQL Server Authentication, Active Directory - Password, and Active Directory - Integrated are all supported. For MFA support, please use Connect-DbaInstance. .PARAMETER Database The database backups to test. If -Database is not provided, all database backups will be tested. .PARAMETER ExcludeDatabase Exclude specific Database backups to test. .PARAMETER DataDirectory Specifies an alternative directory for mdfs, ndfs and so on. The command uses the SQL Server's default data directory for all restores. .PARAMETER LogDirectory Specifies an alternative directory for ldfs. The command uses the SQL Server's default log directory for all restores. .PARAMETER VerifyOnly If this switch is enabled, VERIFYONLY will be performed. An actual restore will not be executed. .PARAMETER NoCheck If this switch is enabled, DBCC CHECKDB will be skipped .PARAMETER NoDrop If this switch is enabled, the newly-created test database will not be dropped. .PARAMETER CopyFile If this switch is enabled, the backup file will be copied to the destination default backup location unless CopyPath is specified. .PARAMETER CopyPath Specifies a path relative to the SQL Server to copy backups when CopyFile is specified. If not specified will use destination default backup location. If destination SQL Server is not local, admin UNC paths will be utilized for the copy. .PARAMETER MaxSize Max size in MB. Databases larger than this value will not be restored. .PARAMETER MaxDop Allows you to pass in a MAXDOP setting to the DBCC CheckDB command to limit the number of parallel processes used. .PARAMETER DeviceType Specifies a filter for backup sets based on DeviceTypes. Valid options are 'Disk','Permanent Disk Device', 'Tape', 'Permanent Tape Device','Pipe','Permanent Pipe Device','Virtual Device', in addition to custom integers for your own DeviceTypes. .PARAMETER AzureCredential The name of the SQL Server credential on the destination instance that holds the key to the azure storage account. .PARAMETER IncludeCopyOnly If this switch is enabled, copy only backups will be counted as a last backup. .PARAMETER IgnoreLogBackup If this switch is enabled, transaction log backups will be ignored. The restore will stop at the latest full or differential backup point. .PARAMETER IgnoreDiffBackup If this switch is enabled, differential backuys will be ignored. The restore will only use Full and Log backups, so will take longer to complete .PARAMETER Prefix The database is restored as "dbatools-testrestore-$databaseName" by default. You can change dbatools-testrestore to whatever you would like using this parameter. .PARAMETER InputObject Enables piping from Get-DbaDatabase .PARAMETER WhatIf If this switch is enabled, no actions are performed but informational messages will be displayed that explain what would happen if the command were to run. .PARAMETER Confirm If this switch is enabled, you will be prompted for confirmation before executing any operations that change state. .PARAMETER MaxTransferSize Parameter to set the unit of transfer. Values must be a multiple of 64kb and a max of 4GB Parameter is used as passtrough for Restore-DbaDatabase. .PARAMETER BufferCount Number of I/O buffers to use to perform the operation. Refererence: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms178615.aspx#data-transfer-options Parameter is used as passtrough for Restore-DbaDatabase. .PARAMETER EnableException By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message. This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting. Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch. .NOTES Tags: DisasterRecovery, Backup, Restore Author: Chrissy LeMaire (@cl), netnerds.net Website: https://dbatools.io Copyright: (c) 2018 by dbatools, licensed under MIT License: MIT https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT .LINK https://dbatools.io/Test-DbaLastBackup .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Test-DbaLastBackup -SqlInstance sql2016 Determines the last full backup for ALL databases, attempts to restore all databases (with a different name and file structure), then performs a DBCC CHECKDB. Once the test is complete, the test restore will be dropped. .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Test-DbaLastBackup -SqlInstance sql2016 -Database SharePoint_Config Determines the last full backup for SharePoint_Config, attempts to restore it, then performs a DBCC CHECKDB. .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Get-DbaDatabase -SqlInstance sql2016, sql2017 | Test-DbaLastBackup Tests every database backup on sql2016 and sql2017 .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Get-DbaDatabase -SqlInstance sql2016, sql2017 -Database SharePoint_Config | Test-DbaLastBackup Tests the database backup for the SharePoint_Config database on sql2016 and sql2017 .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Test-DbaLastBackup -SqlInstance sql2016 -Database model, master -VerifyOnly Skips performing an action restore of the database and simply verifies the backup using VERIFYONLY option of the restore. .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Test-DbaLastBackup -SqlInstance sql2016 -NoCheck -NoDrop Skips the DBCC CHECKDB check. This can help speed up the tests but makes it less tested. The test restores will remain on the server. .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Test-DbaLastBackup -SqlInstance sql2016 -DataDirectory E:\bigdrive -LogDirectory L:\bigdrive -MaxSize 10240 Restores data and log files to alternative locations and only restores databases that are smaller than 10 GB. .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Test-DbaLastBackup -SqlInstance sql2014 -Destination sql2016 -CopyFile Copies the backup files for sql2014 databases to sql2016 default backup locations and then attempts restore from there. .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Test-DbaLastBackup -SqlInstance sql2014 -Destination sql2016 -CopyFile -CopyPath "\\BackupShare\TestRestore\" Copies the backup files for sql2014 databases to sql2016 default backup locations and then attempts restore from there. .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Test-DbaLastBackup -SqlInstance sql2016 -NoCheck -MaxTransferSize 4194302 -BufferCount 24 Determines the last full backup for ALL databases, attempts to restore all databases (with a different name and file structure). The Restore will use more memory for reading the backup files. Do not set these values to high or you can get an Out of Memory error!!! When running the restore with these additional parameters and there is other server activity it could affect server OLTP performance. Please use with causion. Prior to running, you should check memory and server resources before configure it to run automatically.
