Why to apply so many differential backups when one would suffice 🙂
He's restoring to the reporting server everyday morning with diff backup...
log shipping would have been a better option with restore interval kept to a day.
edit : added comments.
Unfortuanately lohipping isn't an option in this case as the production databases are using the simple recovery model. Can't do t-log backups in this case.
Please note, that if the process I detailed works, you will only have to restore one differentail backup a day, your full backup when ever you take that on your production database, as that will break the chain for your differential backups.
