Create an image for the latest backup
Published 27 February 2017
One key use case for SQL Clone is to have the latest possible copy of a production database available for quick mounting in another environment.
For a backup file matching a database name, this script obtains the latest then uses it to create a SQL Clone image.
You need to provide a SQL Clone Agent to perform the operation, but you only need the disk space for the database to be available in the final destination (the operation uses a virtual mount point into that location).
