Hi,
I am working on moving a 3 TB database from single sql server 2016 to sql server always on cluster 2017. I am planning to use SQL server Log Shipping to copy the database to the two nodes and then perform an Always On Join option which works based on the testing I have done so far.
Now I am working on rollback plan in which I reconfigure the log shipping from cluster back to single instance if rollback is needed the issue I have is that the database is 3 TB which takes around 7 hours to backup and restore. Are these any other options if anyone has used as part of rollback? I looking to decrease the downtime in rollback plan.
Any suggestions or helpful hints?
TIA!
