Hello,

I am learning about performing database refresh from Tier 2 to Tier 1 environment and also from Tier 1 to Tier 1 environment using MS SQL server management studio.

I wanted to know while performing the database refresh and also while creating backup of the Tier 1 environment (bak file) before refresh, is the target Tier 1 environment available for use or is there any down time.

I have the same question (0)

    A refresh performs a delete operation on the original target database.

    The target environment will be available until the database copy has reached the target server. After that point, the environment will be offline until the refresh process is completed.

    The Tier1 & Tier2 environment will be unavailable for other servicing operations, such as Sandbox refresh/restore or package deployment but during the Database export and backup time the source environment will be usable from a Dynamics user perspective.
