Restore after Disaster

  • Hi all ,

    I want to restore Point in time Recovery,but the challenge is i have last transaction backup after that backup within ten minutes server get into disaster .Is that possible to restore that ten minutes log too?

  • Maybe, depends what kind of disaster. If the server is still up and SQL is still running and the log for that database is still available, you should be able to a tail-log backup (backup log with no_truncate)

    If the log isn't available, then those 10 minutes of data are lost.

  • Thanx gail

  • Just to add to gail's points

    You can also take the tail log backup if master DB is corrupted but ldf file of the user DB is still available.
