Restore a SQL Server availability database to a secondary replica

This procedure describes how to restore a SQL Server availability database to a secondary replica. Follow this procedure if a secondary replica is unavailable for an extended time and needs to be synchronized with the primary. Or follow these instructions after you add a new secondary replica to the availability group.

To restore a SQL Server availability database to a secondary replica

  1. Log on to the node that hosts the secondary replica and perform the following actions:

    • Close any connections to the database on the secondary replica.

    • Remove the secondary database from the availability group.

  2. On the left, select Workloads > Microsoft SQL Server.
  3. Click on the Availability groups tab and then click on the availability group name.
  4. On the Replicas tab, click on the instance that is hosted on the secondary replica.
  5. On the Databasestab, click on the database that you want to restore.
  6. Click the Recovery points tab and locate the latest transaction log backup.
  7. From the Actions menu select Perform complete database recovery.
  8. Select one of the following options.

    • Recovery point selected

      Restore the database to the time indicated.

    • Point in time

      Select a different point in time to which you want to restore the database.

    • Transaction log mark

      • Choose whether to restore at or before the transaction mark.

      • Enter the name of the transaction mark.

      • To select a transaction mark that occurs after a certain date, select After specific date and time. Then specify the date and time.

      • Click Next.

  9. If the replicas in the availability group use different paths for the database file, select Restore files to different paths and edit the file path.
  10. Select the following settings:

    • Restoring

    • Overwrite existing database

    See Options for Microsoft SQL Server restores.

  11. Click Next. Then click Start recovery.
  12. When the restore completes, join the database to the availability group.
