Hi Guys,
I have setup a alwaysON between on prem and azure server (Iaas). The setup is working fine and able to perform failover/failback. The requirement is,since these are test machines , I dont want to keep the Azure server online all the time. To reduce cost , want to keep it in stopped state and bring up whenever I perform next DR activity.
The question is, can I keep the data movement in suspended state for such long time ( more than 3-4 months) .
whats the best practice to handle this? ( Remove all dbs from AG group and add it back whenever necessary?).
Please help.
Regards
Thahif
