Automate Similar Backup Tasks on Multiple Instances

Scenario

You need to schedule full, differential and t-log database backups on several servers and automate backup cleanup according to your company’s retention policy.

You are going to create a maintenance plan on one SQL Server instance and then simply copy it to the other server instances.

To automate backups on server instances

  1. Select Maintenance Plans in the Navigation pane (CTRL+4).
  2. In the Server tree, right-click an instance and select Create New Maintenance Plan.
  3. Drag and drop the Back Up Database task in the middle of the Design pane and double-click it.
    1. Select the Full backup type.
    2. Click and select User databases (excluding master, model, msdb).

      NOTE: This scenario describes how to back up all user databases. Similarly, you can configure maintenance plans to back up system databases and databases matching wildcard or regular expressions.

    1. Select the Create backup file for every database option and specify the Destination folder and file extension for the backups.
    2. Select the Options tab and select the Remove files older than option. Specify when the full backups are eligible for cleanup according to your company’s retention policy.
    3. Click Ok to save the task.
  4. Click on the tool bar. The task you just created will serve as a base for differential and t-log backups.
  5. Create two new subplans. To create a subplan, click , then Ok.
  6. Select each of the two new subplans and click to paste.
  7. Configure the copied subplan tasks to create the differential and t-log backups instead of full backups. Specify when the differential and t-log backups are eligible for cleanup according to your company’s retention policy.
  8. Double-click every subplan in the plan. Enter the name and description. Click to set schedule properties. Each subplan should have its own reoccurring schedule. For example,

    • Full backups occurring every week
    • Differential backups occurring every day
    • T-log backups occurring every 20 minutes

    When you are done editing the subplan properties, select Enabled and click Ok.

  9. Save the plan, click Copy Plan.
  10. For all instances where you want to paste the plan, right-click the instance and select Paste Maintenance Plan.

Restore Databases

The Restore wizard guides you through the process of restoring a database (full or differential), transaction log, files, or filegroups.

Tip: Database backups created with LiteSpeed Version 8.x cannot be restored using older versions of LiteSpeed.

NOTES:

Scenario

You need to restore a LiteSpeed disk backup to a new database on another SQL Server. Copy the backup files needed for restore to another server and run the Restore wizard. ClosedClick here to see additional information for this scenario.

To run the Restore wizard

  1. Select the Backup Manager pane (CTRL+1).
  2. In the Navigation pane, select a database to restore and click the Restore or Automated Restore button. Alternately you can right-click a database and select Restore or Automated Restore from the menu. If you clicked Restore, click one of the following. If you clicked Automated Restore, review the automated restore information below.

    • Database (full or differential)—Restore database only.
    • Files and Filegroups—Restore files and filegroups only.
    • Transaction Log—Restore transaction log only.

      Tip: The database (full or differential), files and filegroups, and transaction log restore types use the restore wizard pages listed in the steps below: restore destination, backup source, backup content, recovery options, data files, scheduled restore, execute script, and finish.

    • Attached Files—Restore attached files only.

      Tip: The attached files type uses the restore wizard pages listed in the steps below: restore destination, backup source, backup content, data files, attached files, scheduled restore, execute script, and finish.

    • Automated Restore—Restore the most recent full backup and optionally differential and transaction log backups. If you select this option, the Restore wizard creates an Automated Restore job. Backup files can be restored immediately or restored in the background.

      Tip: The automated restore type uses the restore wizard pages listed in the steps below: restore destination, backup source, backup files, restore options, database integrity database files, scheduled restore, notification, execute script, and finish.

  1. Review information on the Restore Destination page. Select the Kill all current connections before restore checkbox to obtain exclusive access to the selected database. Additionally, you can select the View current activity link to view the database connection activity table. A database cannot be restored unless the restore process has exclusive access to the database. No user connections can exist when performing a database restore.

    Caution: Automated Restore for multiple databases - When running restores for multiple databases, we recommend that you use the %DATABASENAME% variable to automatically generate an original database name for database(s) going to be restored. When running restores from multiple servers, different databases with the same server name can be overwritten. To prevent this, the variable %SOURCESERVER% adds the source server name (server+instance) to the target database name when running multiple automated restores. For example: %SOURCESERVER%_%DATABASENAME%.

  2. On the Backup Source page, select Database to restore from a specific database's backup history, or select Device to manually select files to restore.

    Database

    If you select Database, the database you are restoring is displayed. You can select another database using the Database drop down selector. Use the SQL Server drop down selector if the database is on a different SQL Server instance.

    TIP:You can do point in time restores, restoring from a specific date and time or a time period (for example four hours prior to recovery).

    TIP: The restore type option Restore Verify Only in combination with the backup type Verify the latest full or differential backup is less time consuming for full and differential backups or fast compression backups where you only want to verify the latest backup, rather than the full and the latest differential. For backups that are run every day this will serve to verify all backups.

    Device

    If you select Device, the options are Disk, Cloud, TSM Backup, TSM Archive, and Tape.

    If you selected Automated Restore, review the following for additional information.

    Restore from

    Select SQL Server and databases to specify the source from where to search the backups for automated restore.

    NOTE: The restore from parameters help LiteSpeed to narrow down its search for the required backup files in the source folders.

    Use the drop-down treeview to add multiple sources from the System and User parent nodes. Select User databases and all subordinate user databases are automatically selected. Individually select and deselect databases using the checkbox next to it.

    For AlwaysOn availability groups, you may need to specify both SQL Server (primary and secondary) to allow LiteSpeed to search backups among all replicas. To specify a secondary SQL Server, use the semicolumn as a separator between SQL Servers (e.g. SQL-PROD\AG1; SQL-PROD\AG2) in the Source list (Server column).

    Latest backup search method

    Select one of the following options:

    • Folder scan—LiteSpeed will search the specified folder for the most recent database backups. You can configure LiteSpeed to search subfolders and filter backups using the specified file extensions.

    • Specific backup file name—You can use this option to automate restore operations if the same file gets overwritten during the backup or if new backups are always appended to the same file.

    NOTES:

    • If restoring a striped backup, you can specify multiple locations/filenames.
    • You can enter several backup extensions per path. Separate them with commas or semicolons.
    Backup type

    Specify backup types to use for the restore. Select one of the following options:

    • Full—The most recent full database backup.
    • Full and differential—The most recent full database backup and any existing differential backups based on this full.
    • Full, differential and transaction logs—The most recent full database backup and any existing differential and/or transaction log backups created after the most recent full backup.
    • Include copy only backups—Select the Include copy only backups check box to add copy only backups in the restore.
    • Specify a point in time to restore to. By default LiteSpeed restores to the most recent state possible. Alternatively, specify a specific date and time or a date and time relative to the restore time. For example, specify a time measured in days, hours, minutes and seconds from the restore time.
  3. If you selected Automated Restore, on the Backup Files page, select the backup file locations to search.

    Restore from

    Select the restore from location (disk or cloud) using the drop down menu.

    Add

    Add the backup file location to restore to the list by selecting and using the Backup File Location wizard.

    Remove

    Select and remove the backup file location from the list.

  4. If you selected Automated Restore, on the Database Integrity page, define the options to check database integrity after restore.

    Check database integrity after restore (DBCC_CHECKDB)

    Use this option to run a CHECKDB on the restored database and report the results to the repository for review. This option is selected by default. Select a combination of the following database integrity options:

    • Check physical structure only (PHYSICAL_ONLY).This option is selected by default.
    • Check the database for column values that are not valid or out-of-range (DATA_PURITY).
    • Perform logical consistency checks on indexed views. XML indexes and spatial indexes (EXTENDED_LOGICAL_CHECKS).
    • Do not perform intensive checks of nonclustered indexes for user tables. This option is selected by default.
    • Use locks instead of using an internal database snapshot.
    • Do not include informational messages in notification report (NO_INFOMSGS). This option is selected by default.
  5. If you selected Automated Restore, on the Restore Options page, specify options for automated restore.

    Drop databases after restore

    Use this option if you no longer need the restored database. For example, if you are only restoring the latest backup for testing purposes. This option contains two additional options to select. One or both options can be selected.

    • On success restore and check database integrity operations - The database is dropped after a successful restore and database integrity check.
    • On failure any of restore or check databases integrity operations - The database is dropped after failing the restore or database integrity check.
    Overwrite the existing database Use this option if you want to overwrite the existing database with the restored database.
    Include databases that are part of a replication plan

    Use this option to include databases that are part of a replication plan.

    Recovery state

    The options are as follows:

    • Select to leave the database in an operational state (RESTORE WITH RECOVERY). The default is selected.
    • Select to leave the database in a non-operational state and allow restoration of additional transaction logs (RESTORE WITH NORECOVERY). The default is not selected.
    Password

    Provide a password for encrypted backups.

    NOTE: Automated Restore requires that you use the same password for all encrypted backups.

  6. Review the following additional information about the Backup Content page. Skip this page for Automated Restore.
