Use a diferent BROWSECLIENT from SQLHOST
Good afternoon.
I wonder if there is any solution to this problem:
I have 3 SQL instances with different HOST's and I would always use the same BROWSECLIENT, ie all backups of all SQLHOST's would be stored in the same BROWSECLIENT.
Is it possible?
example:
SQLHOST "Instance1" -> makes backup to BROWSECLIENT "VirtualMachine"
SQLHOST "Instance2" -> makes backup to BROWSECLIENT "VirtualMachine"
SQLHOST "Instance3" -> makes backup to BROWSECLIENT "VirtualMachine"
Please stick to supported backup and restore methods. That is only way to ensure support should anything go wrong.
SQLHOST and BROWSECLIENT will be local hostname on each SQL server where instances need to be backed up.
When you want to restrore, BROWSECLIENTneeds to correspond with source client name.
Steps are explained under Redirecting a restore to a different host in the NBU for SQL manual.
