Sql-server – Rename database object during restore

You could set up a simple job to backup the database to a single location and then restore it. It would look something like this

--First we back up the DB        
BACKUP DATABASE [ABC] TO  DISK = N'C:\temp\ABC.bak' WITH NOFORMAT, NOINIT,
        NAME = N'ABC-Full Database Backup', SKIP, NOREWIND, NOUNLOAD,  STATS = 10
        GO
--Then we restore the DB
        RESTORE DATABASE [ABC_test] FROM  DISK = N'C:\temp\ABC.bak' WITH  FILE = 1,  MOVE N'ABC' TO N'C:\DBFiles\ABC_test.mdf',  
        MOVE N'ABC_log' TO N'C:\DBFiles\ABC_test_log.ldf',  NOUNLOAD,  REPLACE,  STATS = 10
        GO

You might want to delete the file before you back it up. You could do this with powershell (my recommendation), xp_delete_file (undocumented SP), or xp_cmdshell (not sure if it is enabled on your system or not)

SET NEWNAME works for RESTORE and SWITCH, but not for RECOVER. Datafiles had been renamed and switched before the recovery started.

There is a flaw in your process though, and the above issue is its side effect:

Restore the control file from the 3/9 backup.

Why? You do a nearly complete recovery to get as close as possible to the current state, not the state on 3/9. Restore the controlfile from the latest backup taken on 3/14.

Since the restored control files aren't aware of the backup pieces for 3/10 - 3/14, I run this for each

This step is unnecessary if you use the latest controlfile.
