I'm looking the fastest way (less down time) to move a central staging warehouse non-partitioned DB v7 to v8 from one server to other... there are several way to do this.. one i got in mind is to restore redirect an online backup, once the restore redirect completes you still need to bring the database up-to-date that is the closest to today... in my case we dont keep all logs from the day took the full backup cause we take incremental backups and keep the logs for incrementals not for fulls... so that would take me to restore incremental as a second step for moving my database... and rollforward as third step
question is.. since i restored redirect the new database, would my incremental backups allow me to restore'em in the new one without problems? do i need to include the 'redirect' keyword when restoring incrementals?
regards.. have a nice wknd
