    please provide the details about point in time recovery how it works

    What details are you looking for?

    If you are a fresher in SQL DBA field, look for such information in articles that were written for this purpose. Once you read them have SQL Installed on your machine and practise that. You would know more once you start practising the steps, your knowledge increases on them. If you have doubts at that point, you can ask here.

    It is broad topic and answering a forum question is not apt to it, since you need to know what is recovery model, and in which recovery model point in time recovery is possible and so on..

  • I agree with the replies by two star members, its indeed a vast topic to be discussed over here, however in breif, point in time recovery means in instance of db server crash, as a DBA its your job to recover as much data as possible, point in time means that you should be in position to restore the database at the point of failure, so lets say your database server crashed at 1900 hours, you should be able to recover all the data till 1900 hours however its not possible most of the times. so your job is to minimise the data losses by having robust backup plan in place for mission critical databases like banking system where data loss would mean finiancial losses... for such mission critical databases your database should be having fulll recovery model and bakup strategy should cover full, differential and frequent log backup, log backup frequency will be decided by business experts if they agree that business will be fine if they lose data worth 15 minutes then your log bacuk up frequency should be 15 minutes.

  • Here is a tutorial about it
