Rolling forward

  • I have a database that has been mirrored and is now attached to another server. I also have a transaction log backup that I want to restore with to roll forward with.. How can I do this..

    1 AM: Database files are mirrored then split.

    6 AM: Transaction log backup of original database

    ... I want to restore the transaction log to the new database..

    Any ideas?

  • When you restore the full, you have to specify the "with norecovery" or with "standby" options. Then you can load t-logs. Need to be sure you do not complete recoery with them either until you are done with logs.
