I would like to preserve the CDC information while refreshing the development using production backup. We use a sophisticated powershell script to perform the restores. I am a little unclear on the usahe of -KeepCDC parameter with powershell module.
write-host $file.FullName : $dbName;
Restore-DbaDatabase -SqlInstance $ServerInstanceName `
-DatabaseName $dbName `
-Path $file.FullName `
-DestinationDataDirectory F:\MSSQL\DATA `
-DestinationLogDirectory G:\MSSQL\Logs `
-WithReplace `
-EnableException
Below is the discription of -KeepCDC . However, I am not sure what value to pass in the powershell. Can I just append above script with "-KeepCDC" ? Example below:
...
..
.
-WithReplace `
-EnableException
-KeepCDC

-KeepCDC
This field prevents "change data capture" settings from being reomved. When a database or log backup is
restored on another server and database is recovered.
