A restore scenario

  • Hi All,

    If a system crashes during a restore process, than is there a way figure out the last restored point.

  • Are you asking if you can restart the restore from the point of failure? No. You have to restart the restore from the beginning of the process.

    (But then again, I may be mistake, but I haven't seen any way to do this yet.)

  • RESTART

    Note:

    Supported only by RESTORE.

    Specifies that SQL Server should restart a restore operation that has been interrupted. RESTART restarts the restore operation at the point it was interrupted.

    Someone in the MVP group pointed this out to me this year.

    though we can restart from the point of interruption, however is it possible to get the exact point of interruption..something like timestamp ...
