Hi,
Can someone clarify the Instant Clone or “Optimize for table level restore” features?
I have multiple SQL Servers. DB admins ask me about possibility to restore single tables instead of whole databases (some of them are huge like 10+ TB).
So now I’m testing this on my playground but I’m not sure I get how it works.
Creating recovery point / instant clone attach new database to selected instance and on low-level this is VSS snapshot mounted directly from my Commvault disk library to the proxy server. So there is no real data on server - it’s just on my commvault library. Is that correct?
Proxy server have to be the server when I have target instance.
I can’t restore tables directly to the source database. I can only restore tables to some another databases. So what is the point of this feature?
I saw that enabling this cause backup by only 1 stream. Is that true?
