NetVault Plug-in for SQL Server 14.0 - Release Notes

Restoring SQL Server Instances with filestream data fails if the database name is changed or relocated: If the database contains filestream data or files and you rename or relocate the database during the restore, an error message appears and the restore fails. On VSS-based restores, the message is “File <filestreamGroupName> cannot be restored to <originalFilestreamGroupDirectory>. Use WITH MOVE to identify a valid location for the file.”

DNPSS-323 (17196, MSG‑402)

If you use the Copy Database Files to Target Directory feature, restoring database files from VSS-based backups that contain filestream data does not retain folder structure: Restoring a VSS-based backup of a database that contained sub-folders restores all files to the same folder, that is, the directory structure is “flattened.” Because the folder structure of the database is not recreated, a file-activation error appears when you try to access the database.

DNPSS-327 (17200, MSG‑406)

Backup jobs of an AlwaysOn Availability Group fail if the plug-in fails to start on one node, even if there is no data for backup in the node.

DNPSS-862 (31573)

If you use the Copy Database Files to Target Directory restore option, it might fail with VSS-related errors if the SQL Server client or server software is not running on the destination server.

If you upgrade to SQL Server 2012 or later, you can create a database by restoring a backup that was created using SQL Server 2008 or later; however, you cannot restore backups of master, model, or msdb.
