Function Test-DbaLastBackup
{
<#
.SYNOPSIS
Quickly and easily tests the last set of full backups for a server
 
.DESCRIPTION
Restores all or some of the latest backups and performs a DBCC CHECKTABLE
 
1. Gathers information about the last full backups
2. Restores the backps to the Destination with a new name. If no Destination is specified, the originating SqlServer wil be used.
3. The database is restored as "dbatools-testrestore-$databaseName" by default, but you can change dbatools-testrestore to whatever you would like using -Prefix
4. The internal file names are also renamed to prevent conflicts with original database
5. A DBCC CHECKTABLE is then performed
6. And the test database is finally dropped
 
.PARAMETER SqlInstance
The SQL Server to connect to. Unlike many of the other commands, you cannot specify more than one server.
 
.PARAMETER Destination
The destination server to use to test the restore. By default, the Destination will be set to the source server
     
If a different Destination server is specified, you must ensure that the database backups are on a shared location
     
.PARAMETER SqlCredential
Allows you to login to servers using alternative credentials
 
$scred = Get-Credential, then pass $scred object to the -SqlCredential parameter
 
Windows Authentication will be used if SqlCredential is not specified
 
.PARAMETER DestinationCredential
Allows you to login to servers using alternative credentials
 
$scred = Get-Credential, then pass $scred object to the -SqlCredential parameter
 
Windows Authentication will be used if SqlCredential is not specified
 
.PARAMETER Databases
The database backups to test. If -Databases is not provided, all database backups will be tested
 
.PARAMETER Exclude
Exclude specific Database backups to test
 
.PARAMETER DataDirectory
The command uses the SQL Server's default data directory for all restores. Use this parameter to specify a different directory for mdfs, ndfs and so on.
 
.PARAMETER LogDirectory
The command uses the SQL Server's default log directory for all restores. Use this parameter to specify a different directory for ldfs.
 
.PARAMETER VerifyOnly
Do not perform the actual restore. Just perform a VERIFYONLY
 
.PARAMETER NoCheck
Skip DBCC CHECKTABLE
 
.PARAMETER NoDrop
Do not drop newly created test database
 
.PARAMETER MaxMB
Do not restore databases larger than MaxMB
 
.PARAMETER IgnoreCopyOnly
If set, copy only backups will not be counted as a last backup
 
.PARAMETER Prefix
The database is restored as "dbatools-testrestore-$databaseName" by default. You can change dbatools-testrestore to whatever you would like using this parameter.
     
.PARAMETER WhatIf
Shows what would happen if the command were to run
     
.PARAMETER Confirm
Prompts for confirmation of every step. For example:
 
Are you sure you want to perform this action?
Performing the operation "Restoring model as dbatools-testrestore-model" on target "SQL2016\VNEXT".
[Y] Yes [A] Yes to All [N] No [L] No to All [S] Suspend [?] Help (default is "Y"):
     
.PARAMETER Silent
Use this switch to disable any kind of verbose messages

.EXAMPLE
Test-DbaLastBackup -SqlServer sql2016
 
Determines the last full backup for ALL databases, attempts to restore all databases (with a different name and file structure), then performs a DBCC CHECKTABLE
 
Once the test is complete, the test restore will be dropped
 
.EXAMPLE
Test-DbaLastBackup -SqlServer sql2016 -Databases master
 
Determines the last full backup for master, attempts to restore it, then performs a DBCC CHECKTABLE
 
.EXAMPLE
Test-DbaLastBackup -SqlServer sql2016 -Databases model, master -VerifyOnly
 
.EXAMPLE
Test-DbaLastBackup -SqlServer sql2016 -NoCheck -NoDrop
 
Skips the DBCC CHECKTABLE check. This can help speed up the tests but makes it less tested. NoDrop means that the test restores will remain on the server.
 
.EXAMPLE
Test-DbaLastBackup -SqlServer sql2016 -DataDirectory E:\bigdrive -LogDirectory L:\bigdrive -MaxMB 10240
 
Restores data and log files to alternative locations and only restores databases that are smaller than 10 GB
