SQL Timefinder Integration Module

Hello all, hoping someone can give me some help.

I'm trying to understand tsimsnap2 and symmir restore.

When we've got a volume with multiple sql databases and run a symmir -g groupname restore it works great and we can then issue a tsimsnap2 restore against one database or all if we need to.

What I don't understand is how this happens. My understanding of the symmir ...restore is that it overwrites all of the databases but this doesn't appear to be the case because tsimsnap2 can restore only one, if needed.

How is this possible?

Symmir restore,restores all devices in your device group which would invariably restore all your databases if they all reside in those devices.The main difference between symmir restore and tsinsnap2 is that SQL Server is not aware of symmir restore and you can not apply transaction logs to the restore,however,tsimsnap2 uses SQL VDI in the metadata file you specify during the restore and you can apply SQL transaction logs to it.
