point of time recovery

  • If I do a full backup daily and transaction log backup every 3 hours starting from 6:00 am,

    so the transaction will be done at 6:00 am let's call it trnlog6, 9:00 am trnlog9, 12 pm trnlog12. Now I have a need to restore the database at the state of exactly 10:30 am.

    How can I do that?

    If I restore full backup + trnlog6 + trnlog9+ trnlog12, it will restored to 12:00 pm? Is there a way to restore exactly at the state of 10:30 am?

    Thanks

  • yes you can

    1-Restore the Full Backup with no recovery

    2-Restore the 6am log backup with no recovery Point in time most recent possible

    3-Restore the 9am log backup with no recovery Point in time most recent possible

    4-Restore the 12pm log backup with recovery point in time stop at 10:00am

    Example

    RESTORE LOG [test Database] FROM DISK = N'C:\logbk' WITH FILE = 1,

    NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10, STOPAT = N'2011-06-22T10:00:00'

    GO

    you can define time in the STOPAT parameter
