1. Taking Full Backups with sqlcmd
#
# Run the commands when you reach an important point in the database configuration
sudo docker exec -it sql1 /opt/mssql-tools/bin/sqlcmd -S localhost -U SA -P 'Password123' -Q "BACKUP DATABASE [v7.3.1_HUB_511_lab] TO DISK = '/var/opt/mssql/backups/v7.3.1_HUB_511_lab_Stage_3.bak' WITH FORMAT, INIT, NAME = 'Stage3';"
sudo docker exec -it sql1 /opt/mssql-tools/bin/sqlcmd -S localhost -U SA -P 'Password123' -Q "BACKUP DATABASE [HUB-5.1.1-lab] TO DISK = '/var/opt/mssql/backups/HUB-5.1.1-lab_Stage_3.bak' WITH FORMAT, INIT, NAME = 'Stage3';"
# Check the result
sudo docker exec -it sql1 ls -l /var/opt/mssql/backups/
2. Restoring a Specific Backup#
# Restore databases
sudo docker exec -it sql1 /opt/mssql-tools/bin/sqlcmd -S localhost -U SA -P 'Password123' -Q "RESTORE DATABASE [v7.3.1_HUB_511_lab] FROM DISK = '/var/opt/mssql/backups/v7.3.1_HUB_511_lab_Stage_3.bak' WITH REPLACE, RECOVERY;"
sudo docker exec -it sql1 /opt/mssql-tools/bin/sqlcmd -S localhost -U SA -P 'Password123' -Q "RESTORE DATABASE [HUB-5.1.1-lab] FROM DISK = '/var/opt/mssql/backups/HUB-5.1.1-lab_Stage_3.bak' WITH REPLACE, RECOVERY;"
3. Restoring a Specific Backup via SSM#
