I have a scenario where I'm shipping the T-Log backups to our DR site and restoring them to our DR SQL server.
The issue I'm trying to work out is that currently to do a test of the DR site we have to bring those databases on-line, do our test, and then ship over full backups so we can start the t-log restores.
Is there some way I could bring those databases live, do our tests, and get back to restoring mode database without having to ship over a full database backup?
