Hi,So, I am migrating an AlwaysOn available database to a new datacenter.I am using SQL Server 2014 Enterprise on all nodes in both DCs.I execute a BACKUP DATABASE as well as a BACKUP LOG in my first datacenter.I restore the database in my second DC on an, already configured, AlwaysOn setup.Now I want to use these same backups for initialising the DB on my secondary replica but I am encountering issues.Is there any way of using the original database backup when initialising the database on the secondary replica? I have tried to restore the same database backup and log on the secondary replica (with NORECOVERY) but when running the 'Add Database To Availability Group' wizard, it complains about a lack of transaction log backups.I have been following the steps from https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff878349(v=sql.120).aspx amongst others. This documentation seems to explicitly use a backups from the New Database on the Primary Replica (in my second DC) and does not talk about other backups (even if they are the backups that has been used to restore the DB in the first place)Anyone has any ideas?Regards,Hanslindgren
