The following stored procs are provided by SQLFairy http://sqlfairy.com.au .

Hopefully they'll make your life more pleasant in some small way. Enjoy :)

SQLFairyBackupTools_V001.sql adds the following stored procs:

dbo.sp_ScheduleBackups – Generates full, differential and transaction log SQL Server Agent jobs to backup all databases to Azure blob storage or a UNC path using Ola Hallengren’s backup script. Also schedules the jobs based on provided input. Manages creation of SQL Server credentials if backing up to Azure blob storage.

dbo.sp_ScheduleMaintenance – generates separate indexOptimise and DatabaseIntegrityCheck jobs which call on Ola Hallengren’s IndexOptimize and DatabaseIntegrityCheck stored procedures respectively for each of your databases.

dbo.usp_RestoreDB – Allows for automagic restore of databases from servers which are being backed up to Azure or an accessible shared UNC path.

dbo.usp_AutoMirror – An awesome and fun tool :) which uses a similar approach to usp_RestoreDB but takes things a step further by automatically mirroring databases.

dbo.usp_GenerateRestoreScriptForThisServer – Called by dbo.usp_EmailRestoreScript. Uses sp_RestoreGene to generate a current restore script for all databases (which have been backed up) on the server.

dbo.usp_EmailRestoreScript – This script is called from a step in each of the backup jobs created by dbo.sp_ScheduleBackups. After each backup it generates and emails a current restore script for all of the databases on the server. This means that in the case of an emergency where you might no longer be able to use the tools which rely on the backup history in the master database, you still have a restore script on hand which will allow you to get back up and running on another server/whatever.

You'll find a detailed discussion on these tools at http://www.sqlfairy.com.au/2016/06/backup-to-the-cloud-super-dev-ops-restore-powers-dr-and-more/
