Thank you for following up. It can be a real pain to keep all of the pieces straight, but it sure is a great peace of mind when you know that your backups are working and that you are keeping an eye on corruption.

We had such a hard time trying to get this to work (before your script) with the Virtual Restore after scripting it to work with the Backup Pro. I just kept screwing it up for some reason. Thanks for sharing it.

Within my environment, I maintain a table with files that need to be cleaned-up. When a restore and consistency check completes, I add the associated backup files to that table, after dropping the virtual database, of course. I then have a process that cleans up those files in the background.

I do it this way for two reasons. 1, if a deletion of a file fails and needs to be retried, I want to handle that all in one place, rather than implement that logic in multiple different scripts throughout my environment. 2, if a restore or consistency check fails, I want to already have the exact copy of the backups that were used right there on disk. This aides in my troubleshooting.

In the script I published online, I left out this logic for simplicity. I can also imagine that some people may prefer that I not delete those files automatically, due to some perceived risk.

I hope that makes sense. If you, or someone else, would like some help with the deletion logic, I would be happy to discuss and help as best as I can.

I am curious why you do not delete the backup copies?

I do insert a value into that table within my environment. I must have just missed it when I was removing the artifacts from my environment. I will take a deeper look when I get home. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.

It fails because you have it as NOT NULL and then never insert anything into it. Other than that everything worked great.

However, my thought process was that, for a tutorial, a stored procedure might be more accessible to a wider audience. In practice, a function would probably be the way I would go. For my next blog post in this series, I am planning to write a table-valued function that returns all RegEx matches from a particular expression.
