First off, I've been working with MSSQL for years but I'm not a DBA. I am responsible for an important application where I work which has a SQL database.
Part of my company's DR plan for our SQL servers is to use Hyper-V replicas at a DR site.
We are using standard replicas and the EnableWriteOrderPreservationAcrossDisks switch for the replication is enabled.
Even though MSSQL server is supposedly supports this scenario I feel uncomfortable. Though I suspect the likelihood is low I'm concerned that we may not end up with a consistent database if we have to rely on the standard(point in time)replica.
I'd feel much better if we had a backup and log files to restore after a fail-over situation rather than counting on the replicated db to be in good shape.
Am I being overly conservative?
Thank you,
