Transaction Log Backup

  • I require some clarification. I run full backup every day @ 12:01AM. Diff Backup at 6hrs interval and tran backup hourly.

    My last tran backup was at say 11AM. At 11:35AM, my database gets corrupted and I have restored tran backup upto 11AM.

    Now what? Is there any chance of getting any part of the data of those 35 mins.

    I tried to take tran backup at 11:35 after I sensed DB corruption but that backup didn't happen.

  • If the ldf is still available and SQL is still running then you should be able to. You'll need to use a specifc option on the log backup - WITH NOTRUNCATE - as normal log backups require that the DB is available.
