HADR: Ability to take incremental backups on either host and maintain the incremental chain for restore

In an HADR environment it is not possible to restore / recover the database with backups which are taken from both sites of the HADR cluster (after takeovers). You have to use the backups from the one site or from the other site. You can't mix the backups.

It is also not possible to take a (incremental) delta backup after takeover that builds up to the last backup taken at the "old" primary site. You have to use the full backup.

The synchronization of the history file between both sides do not solve these problems.


Scenario:

Server 1 (S1), Server 2 (S2), backups are stored in a "shared TSM space" (TSM proxynode).

S1: full backup -> takeover to S2 -> S2: delta backup -> takeover to S1 -> S1: delta backup -> data loss -> S1: manual incremental PointInTime-Restore before "data loss"

manual incremental restore chain:

  1. delta backup S1

  2. full backup S1

  3. delta backup S2

--> Failure (SQL2572N) because the delta backup S2 didn't belongs to full backup S1

the next steps in our chain would have been

  1. delta backup S1

  2. rollforward to PIT


Our problem is discribed in PMR - TS005742183
