Synced Sandbox Refresh

  • Remove the sandbox from the availability group: 

 

  • Delete the Sandbox from the replicant SQL Server (SQLServer2 in the case) 


  • Create a new backup of the Primary Database, checking “Copy-only Backup” 


  • Doesn’t matter where you place this backup, but ‘C:\SQLClusterTemp’ is as good a place as any:

 

  • Restore the primary data into the Sandbox as normal (Don't forget to use the ‘replace’ checkbox under ‘options’):

 

  • Once restored, make a normal backup of the Sandbox, placing it in to ‘C:\SQLClusterTemp’ directory

 

  • You can now re-enable the sync via the ‘Add Database to Availability Group’ wizard (right click / add under availability groups)

 

  • If all goes well:
