I am running PS script from the client machine (Win7) that does not have SQLPS (Ms SQL Server Database Engine) installed.
Due to this, I do it through importing a remote ps-session:
$sourceSQLRemoteSession = New-PSSession -ComputerName $SQLServerHostname -Authentication negotiate -Credential $PSOCredentialObject
Import-PSSession -Session $sourceSQLRemoteSession -Module SQLPS -DisableNameChecking
Backup-SqlDatabase -ServerInstance "destinationSQL\\SQLInstance" -Database "blabla_db" -BackupFile "c:\\blabla.bak" -Credential $PSOCredentialObject
The thing is, if I need to restore the DB to a different SQL database server, require me to use "RelocateFile" objects, for example:
$RelocateData = New-Object Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.RelocateFile("uat_project1_db", "c:\SQLDATA\blabla.mdf")
$RelocateLog = New-Object Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.RelocateFile("uat_project1_db_Log", "c:\SQLDATA\blabla.ldf")
Restore-SqlDatabase -ServerInstance "Computer\Instance" -Database "MainDB" -BackupFile "\\mainserver\databasebackup\MainDB.trn" -RelocateFile @($RelocateData,$RelocateLog)
And when I run the new object, it does not seem to like it:
Error:
New-Object : Cannot find type [Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.RelocateFile]: verify that the assembly containing this type is loaded.At line:1 char:17
+ ... ocateData = New-Object Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.RelocateFil ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidType: (:) [New-Object], PSArgumentException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : TypeNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.NewObjectCommand
What's the best method to approach this?
Thanks
Your best approach would be to use dbaTools . Check it out! You can install from the PowerShell Gallery, though if you're running Windows 7 you may have to upgrade PowerShell to v3 or above (go for v5! ) to make use of the PowerShell Gallery.
dbaTools has a single command for backing up and restoring DBs.
Here's an example from their documentation :
Copy-DbaDatabase -Source sqlserver2014a -Destination sqlcluster -Exclude Northwind, pubs, AdventureWorks -BackupRestore -NetworkShare \\\\fileshare\sql\migration
Hope that helps
