    If you have date feilds in your tables, you can delete based on dates, but you cannot "rollback" all changes based on a date with the SQL Server product.

    If you run log backups, Log PI, Lumigent Log Explorer or ApexSQL Log can help you.

    I am NOT an expert.

    But you can try this.

    1. Do a transaction backup.

    2. Then do a restore of your database to the date that you want to roll back.

    3. Backup or copy out your database.

    4. Restore your database back to today.

    5. Delete all records.

    6. Copy back from your backup (from step 3)

    This will not work if you have primary keys etc etc.
