Bulk-Recovery-Model

  • Hi All,

    As far as i know when we set bulk recovery model to database data will minimally recorded in transaction log..minimal information means what exactly?

    Point in time restoration ,point of failure restoration not possible in bulk recovery model becoz of minimal information..(doing bulk operations)

    If so how can normal recovery posible in bulk recovery model as it only kept minimal inforamation?

    Could anyone tel me what exactly going in this operation..Thanks in advance

  • Hi gila..Thanks for reply(very helpful sites)

    I had better if u will give our own words in short..

    Thanks

  • It's not entirely clear what you are asking

    Point in time restoration ,point of failure restoration not possible in bulk recovery model becoz of minimal information..(doing bulk operations)

    If so how can normal recovery posible in bulk recovery model as it only kept minimal inforamation?

    you seem to be stating that point in time recevery is not possible in bulk recovery mode, then go on to ask how we can do recovery in bulk mode..

    I may be mis-reading this though..

  • I mean to ask that normal recovery not point in time

  • Both crash recovery and log restores work much the same way in bulk-logged as in full. The only difference is that STOPAT can't be used when the specified time is within a log backup that contains minimally logged operations.

    What, you want me to rewrite or summarise Books Online?

    Read through the BoL pages, if you have specific questions after that please ask.

    Did you read those articles?

    What do you mean by recover? Restore log backup? Recover data manually?
