Hi All
I should preface this by saying I am a relative SQL Novice.
Having said that I do look after a soon to be production SQL 2014 server. I have configured backups using SQL Managed backup to Azure and am fairly confident all is working well.
I would however, like to perform regular test restores, but cant quite figure out the best strategy for this.
I have created managed backup report which says all the backups are available and I eyes on check the files every day.
The verify option in SSMS fails, so I cant use this to help me sleep at night. I believe the reason the verify fails is permissions to where the backups are store (Azure blob) so is probably nothing to be concerned about, I just cant use the verify option I don't think.
Can I simply create a new DB on the same instance called Test and restore on top of that? Or...
