Hi everyone,

I'm looking for real-world experiences from anyone who has successfully (or unsuccessfully) tested SQL Server AlwaysOn Availability Groups using SureBackup with custom verification scripts.

I tryed to use the predefined SQL script but it failed.
 

My Setup:

  • 2-node Windows Server Failover Cluster (WSFC) with SQL Server 2022
  • AlwaysOn AG configured with synchronous commit
  • Veeam B&R 12.3.2 with Virtual Lab 

Goal: Validate SQL recoverability without triggering production cluster conflic

Has anyone written a PowerShell/ that handles AG verification inside the Virtual Lab (accounting for possible quorum loss)?

If you've done this (or tried and hit issues), I'd love to hear about your experience!
