I tried to run an automated build after installing few hot fixes in a fresh Azure environment.

On running a build there was an error saying "Specified database backup file to restore was not found at: $FullDatabaseBackupPath".

Do we need to check/uncheck the variable "DatabaseBackupToRestore" in the Variables tab by editing the build.

Can anyone help me out if a backup needs to kept in that location or can we uncheck by editing the build and proceed.

Thanks,

Mohamed.

If you leave the "DatabaseBackupToRestore" blank you should be fine. I'm not sure what would happen if you turn it off. It's designed to be empty (if you don't want to restore a DB on every build) or the name of a backup (if you want a backup restored every time a build runs).

The restore is useful for automated testing since you may require some base data to always be the same for testing purposes.
