decompress backup TRN file

xdai

Hi,

I have hyperbac 5 on source to compress backup of t-log (*.TRN), then copy that to our DR server, and load the trn file to a standby database, so on DR server, how do i configure hyperbac to know the file copy over is compressed format, and need to decompress it? would that be add the registration to watch the destination folder and choose disable compression?

thanks

and will it interfere the log restore to the standby database since it is compressed format?

If you deploy a Restore Only license to the standby machine, you can register the .TRN extension and it will not interfere with backups. SQL Server will then be able to seamlessly restore HyperBac compressed TRN backups as well as native TRN backups.

we are using a evaluation version downloaded from website, it is 5.0.22., same as on source. How do you deploy a Restore Only license ?

You can get these licenses from the Sales Team (sales@red-gate.com)
