Hi All !
I want to use database snapshots. I know how to create, drop or use them. But, some questions:
- can I restore them on a different sql server ? (I want to use them for my team training)
- can I restore them on another instance on the same server ? (I want to use them for my team training)
- Is it possible to restore the snapshot under a new dbname ? (dbname=totodb, snapshot=sn_totodb, restore under titidb)
- When I drop the snapshot , all the files concerned by the snapshot are removed and I can't detach the snapshot. Are there some ways to "detach" ?
- Is it possible to restore only one component from the snapshot ? Example: a snapshot is created, stored on a SAN space, restored to a different SQL Server instance and I need only to "extract" one particular table .
Thanks for advance for your ideas / help - Regards - Have a nice day ! RHUM2
