Restore with STOPAT

  • Hi!

    Trying to restore database by two hours before now state. Have a full DB backup two weeks old and a log backup made right now. Set STOPAT time at 10.00 AM

    Get an error:

    Invalid value specified for STOPAT parameter.

    RESTORE LOG is terminating abnormally.

    Restore FULL + LOG works fine, but I need it two hours ago.

  • I'm not sure if you're doing this in EM or Query analyzer, but there is a problem if it's the first restore your doing and you use EM. Check out this document, and believe me that the Service Pack doesn't always solve this.

  • I am doing it in EM and this is the only log backup and I have SP3 for mai SQL2000.

    So should I do this in query analyzer?

  • Thanks a lot, I managed to do this in QA
