function New-DbaDbSnapshot { <# .SYNOPSIS Creates database snapshots .DESCRIPTION Creates database snapshots without hassles .PARAMETER SqlInstance The target SQL Server instance or instances. .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 AllDatabases Creates snapshot for all eligible databases .PARAMETER Database The database(s) to process - this list is auto-populated from the server. If unspecified, all databases will be processed. .PARAMETER ExcludeDatabase The database(s) to exclude - this list is auto-populated from the server .PARAMETER WhatIf Shows what would happen if the command were to run .PARAMETER Confirm Prompts for confirmation of every step. .PARAMETER Name The specific snapshot name you want to create. Works only if you target a single database. If you need to create multiple snapshot, you must use the NameSuffix parameter .PARAMETER NameSuffix When you pass a simple string, it'll be appended to use it to build the name of the snapshot. By default snapshots are created with yyyyMMdd_HHmmss suffix You can also pass a standard placeholder, in which case it'll be interpolated (e.g. '{0}' gets replaced with the database name) .PARAMETER Path Snapshot files will be created here (by default the filestructure will be created in the same folder as the base db) .PARAMETER InputObject Allows Piping from Get-DbaDatabase .PARAMETER Force Databases with Filestream FG can be snapshotted, but the Filestream FG is marked offline in the snapshot. To create a "partial" snapshot, you need to pass -Force explicitely NB: You can't then restore the Database from the newly-created snapshot. For details, check https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb895334.aspx .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: Snapshot, Restore, Database Author: Simone Bizzotto (@niphold) Website: https://dbatools.io Copyright: (c) 2018 by dbatools, licensed under MIT License: MIT https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT .LINK https://dbatools.io/New-DbaDbSnapshot .EXAMPLE PS C:\> New-DbaDbSnapshot -SqlInstance sqlserver2014a -Database HR, Accounting Creates snapshot for HR and Accounting, returning a custom object displaying Server, Database, DatabaseCreated, SnapshotOf, SizeMB, DatabaseCreated, PrimaryFilePath, Status, Notes .EXAMPLE PS C:\> New-DbaDbSnapshot -SqlInstance sqlserver2014a -Database HR -Name HR_snap Creates snapshot named "HR_snap" for HR .EXAMPLE PS C:\> New-DbaDbSnapshot -SqlInstance sqlserver2014a -Database HR -NameSuffix 'fool_{0}_snap' Creates snapshot named "fool_HR_snap" for HR .EXAMPLE PS C:\> New-DbaDbSnapshot -SqlInstance sqlserver2014a -Database HR, Accounting -Path F:\snapshotpath Creates snapshots for HR and Accounting databases, storing files under the F:\snapshotpath\ dir .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Get-DbaDatabase -SqlInstance sql2016 -Database df | New-DbaDbSnapshot Creates a snapshot for the database df on sql2016 #> [CmdletBinding(SupportsShouldProcess, ConfirmImpact = "Medium")] param ( [DbaInstanceParameter[]]$SqlInstance, [PSCredential]$SqlCredential, [object[]]$Database, [object[]]$ExcludeDatabase, [switch]$AllDatabases, [string]$Name, [string]$NameSuffix, [string]$Path, [switch]$Force, [parameter(ValueFromPipeline)] [Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Database[]]$InputObject, [switch]$EnableException ) begin { if ($Force) {$ConfirmPreference = 'none'} $NoSupportForSnap = @('model', 'master', 'tempdb') # Evaluate the default suffix here for naming consistency $DefaultSuffix = (Get-Date -Format "yyyyMMdd_HHmmss") if ($NameSuffix.Length -gt 0) { #Validate if Name can be interpolated try { $null = $NameSuffix -f 'some_string' } catch { Stop-Function -Message "NameSuffix parameter must be a template only containing one parameter {0}" -ErrorRecord $_ } } function Resolve-SnapshotError($server) { $errhelp = '' $CurrentEdition = $server.Edition.ToLowerInvariant() $CurrentVersion = $server.Version.Major * 1000000 + $server.Version.Minor * 10000 + $server.Version.Build if ($server.Version.Major -lt 9) { $errhelp = 'Not supported before 2005' } if ($CurrentVersion -lt 12002000 -and $errhelp.Length -eq 0) { if ($CurrentEdition -notmatch '.*enterprise.*|.*developer.*|.*datacenter.*') { $errhelp = 'Supported only for Enterprise, Developer or Datacenter editions' } } $message = "" if ($errhelp.Length -gt 0) { $message += "Please make sure your version supports snapshots : ($errhelp)" } else { $message += "This module can't tell you why the snapshot creation failed.
