Hello,

Right now I do the following on my production system:

  • Backups are made on an external server for each seperate database

  • backups are done with a sql server agent account which has got relevant rights on the backup server

  • test server sql server agent account has relevant right on backup server as well (is other nt-account)


When I rebuild the master database on the test server all previously created database come up. This is fine. But when I restore more user-databases on this test server I have to update device-direcories manually. After this I have to 'force a restore over the existing database'.
This is a hell of a job when there are about 30 database.

There should be a way which covers my current live database via a script which gives me the possibility to create the right devices and restore the databases without a force command over the existing databases ?

Please help me out.

John
