We patch the OS monthly. So Windows patches are applied the servers are rebooted. I had a lot of issues in the beginning of SQL Clones release that the order in which things came up caused issues with clones hosted on other servers. This has not been an issue with the latest versions. I patch SQL Clone manually since we have issues with certificate authorizations. Wish there was something you could do about that. / comments

I can run more tests, but without me starting a stop watch and watching is there any log that could be enabled that would capture the image creation? / comments

I have it running now and will compare the times to these last two runs and then a time before now that I can mine this data. / comments

What we have done is take our production database create a cloned image and masked all PII data. We then take a backup of that and create another image that we then deploy to our Dev and QA environments. We have 4 dev and 4 QA environments and each get there own clone of the masked database image. It is just in QA where they are doing more elaborate testing where they need the data to mature for proper financial testing. / comments

The use case for us is going to be this data will be in QA for an extended period of time. Accounts will be aging and QA will be doing testing. If the data is lost all that would be lost as well.
I guess without being able to recover in Clone from a failure a that point would not work since that functionality is not there. And I guess I could recover from a SQL FULL and Diff. I just was not planning on that storage requirement as we move these processes down to lower level environments.
Just trying to look at all the risks and gotchas as we move this data around with SQL Clone. / comments

I know how to maneuver in windows and the RDP tool does allow for resize.
My comment was a software application these days should be able to handle screen resolution sizing. / comments

We have purchased SQL Clone for a prod to development process of databases and I have automated the process from start to finish. / comments

Thanks for the response and that does make sense. I have a 2016 and a 2014 instance on this one server. So one agent would manage both and the operations would then be synchronous.
I would test anything you needed. / comments

Yes, that would be great in my opinion. I just know that I used some weird locations during my POC and now they clutter the drop downs. Using the most recent would leave the good stuff at the top unless you go through a round of testing stuff with those weird locations again. Not sure how often they would roll off. Plus now I have my automation in place, so do not use the UI as much, but my colleagues who do not have as much hands on with the tool would get confused. / comments

Just consistency. I would think you would adjust as you pass a certain amount. So 1GB would show but 999MB would show that. Not sure what you gain by having 1.5GB versus 1500 MB. / comments
