Creating a backup on Mirrored Media Sets


In this recipe, we will create a full database backup on mirrored backup files.

Getting ready

We will use the AdventureWorks2014 database for this recipe. We will create a mirrored backup of the database, and both timestamped backup files will be stored in C:\Backup. Feel free to substitute this with the database you want to use with mirrored backups.

Note

Note that mirrored backups are only supported in Developer or Enterprise editions of SQL Server. Please ensure you have either of these editions before proceeding with the recipe.

Here's the T-SQL syntax that will be generated by this PowerShell recipe:

BACKUP DATABASE [AdventureWorks2014]
TO  DISK = N'AdventureWorks2014.bak'
MIRROR
TO  DISK = N'C:\Backup\AdventureWorks2014_Full_20150314092409_Copy1.bak'
MIRROR TO  DISK = N'C:\Backup\AdventureWorks2014_Full_20150314092409_Copy2.bak'
WITH FORMAT, INIT,
NAME = N'AdventureWorks2014 Full Backup', SKIP, REWIND,
NOUNLOAD, COMPRESSION, STATS = 10, CHECKSUM
