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 CHECKDB
 
1. Gathers information about the last full backups
2. Restores the backups 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 CHECKDB 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 Database
The database backups to test. If -Database is not provided, all database backups will be tested
 
.PARAMETER ExcludeDatabase
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 CHECKDB
 
.PARAMETER NoDrop
Do not drop newly created test database
 
.PARAMETER CopyFile
Will copy the backup file to the destination default backup location unless CopyPath is specified.
 
.PARAMETER CopyPath
Specify a path relative to the SQL Server to copy backups when CopyFile is specified. If not specified will use destination default backup location. If destination SQL Server is not local, admin UNC paths will be utilized for the copy.
 
.PARAMETER MaxMB
Do not restore databases larger than MaxMB
 
.PARAMETER AzureCredential
The name of the SQL Server credential on the destination instance that holds the key to the azure storage account
fied, Copy Options are not allowed.
 
.PARAMETER IncludeCopyOnly
If set, copy only backups will not be counted as a last backup
 
.PARAMETER IgnoreLogBackup
This switch tells the function to ignore transaction log backups. The process will restore to the latest full or differential backup point only
 
.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 EnableException
        By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message.
        This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting.
        Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch.

.EXAMPLE
Test-DbaLastBackup -SqlInstance 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 CHECKDB
 
Once the test is complete, the test restore will be dropped
 
.EXAMPLE
Test-DbaLastBackup -SqlInstance sql2016 -Database master
 
Determines the last full backup for master, attempts to restore it, then performs a DBCC CHECKDB
 
.EXAMPLE
Test-DbaLastBackup -SqlInstance sql2016 -Database model, master -VerifyOnly
 
.EXAMPLE
Test-DbaLastBackup -SqlInstance sql2016 -NoCheck -NoDrop
 
Skips the DBCC CHECKDB 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 -SqlInstance 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
 
.EXAMPLE
Test-DbaLastBackup -SqlInstance sql2014 -Destination sql2016 -CopyFile
 
Copies the backup files for sql2014 databases to sql2016 default backup locations and then attempts restore from there.
 
.EXAMPLE
Test-DbaLastBackup -SqlInstance sql2014 -Destination sql2016 -CopyFile -CopyPath "\\BackupShare\TestRestore\"
 
Copies the backup files for sql2014 databases to sql2016 default backup locations and then attempts restore from there.
