Hi all,
I'll test this once my setup is complete but it'd be good to get any ideas meanwhile.
Basically I want to know if it is possible to take a full and log backup from one server and restore it on a separate Availability Group primary and secondary and then use that setup to add the database to the availability group. All the documentation mentions the need to restore to the primary, take a full and log backup from the primary and then use that to seed the secondary.
Setting up both at the same time would be faster and be transactionally consistent - I just need to know if this is supported / works?
Thanks,
Paul
