Hi Guys,
I have a query around how to properly rerun a failed SQL backup.
If the scheduled SQL job fails and you want to rerun the backup, I understand you can go into the resource group and click "Back up Now" and select the relevent policy. However, is this then classed as an "on demand" backup and therefore may be subject to a different retention policy?
If this is the case, how do you rerun a failed backup and still make sure that it has the correct retention as set as per standard scheduled backup retention?
Do you rerun the job from within SQL Management Studio (we use SQL Agent to schedule rather than Windows task scheduler), via SnapCenter "Back up Now" or is there another method I'm unaware of?
Thanks
Ash
