Further information, there is a patch for SQL Backup that will allow a backup of replica database that is a member of an always-on availability group and allow the ERASEFILES and COPYTO processes to run.
The patch suppresses SQL Error 976 that is generated so that the ERASEFILES and COPYTO processes will run.
There is still the need to create the SkipChecks registry key by creating a DWORD registry entry, SkipChecks, with the value 1. This entry needs to be created in the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Red Gate\SQL Backup\BackupSettingsGlobal\<instance name>
registry node.
Please contact the support team, [support@red-gate.com] will provide details of where to download the patch and instructions on how to install.
PLEASE NOTE: The Backup of a replica database will report successful with warnings. The backup process will still generate a warning, Warning 167: Failed to get database size from server.
Many Thanks
Eddie
