During the adding of a database to the AG the second option is "Full database and Log backup" for the Select Initial Data Synchronization step.
Do we have to perform a full backup and log backup on the database? It also says "these databases are restored to each secondary and joined to the AG". Why is both a full backup and a log backup required? When would we use this option versus the 1st option which is AUTOMATIC seeding??
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The 4th option is "Skip initial data synchronization" in the Select Initial Data Synchronization step. It say to choose this option if you want to perform your own database and log backups of each primary database>>> what does this mean? When would we choose this option???
