Hi Kevin, what if after 16th record 17th and 18th record were added and want to recover 17th and 18th also after deleting 16th record knowing or unknowingly. Could you make a video for this scenario please Kevin? 😊
You are awesome Kelvin. Would you be able to make a vlog similar to this but on RDS SQL Server where the restore is single database only? AWS RDS has this point in time but it is an instance level. Thanks
If you go from SIMPLE to FULL you need to do a FULL backup before you can do a LOG backup. Point-in-time restore needs both. If you are in Simple now, there is virtually nothing in the log file
If you have backups starting from before the point in time you want to restore to, yes. Minimum, you need a Full backup to start from and all of the transaction logs from then until the PIT. Any data entered into the DB AFTER that point in time will be gone
Use the SSMS restore database GUI :) Or...create a script that reads from the msdb tables and generates the Restore Log statements for you. Good question, thanks!
@@Kevin3NF Thanks for quick reply!! Yeah I've never done a restore from Database as a source because that always scared the crap out of me for some reason. If my accounting dept requested me to restore the Sandbox from Live I always used Device. But the biggest thing I learned from your video was the script button :-)
@@prop4g4nd423 when you choose from database, its just showing you a list of "devices." (aka, backup files) You're not actually touching the live Prod database when you restore it down to Sandbox, dev, test.

I would restore to a different database name in order to get back that 16th record.

Sorry, I know next to nothing about RDS or AWS...I'm Azure only.
Kevin Hill oh. ok thanks
Hi Kevin. Is it possible if we change the SIMPLE recovery mode into FULL recovery mode? Then we perform the log backup and do the restore-in-point?
If you go from SIMPLE to FULL you need to do a FULL backup before you can do a LOG backup. Point-in-time restore needs both. If you are in Simple now, there is virtually nothing in the log file
@@Kevin3NF Thanks Sir..
So can I restore today's data to the 3 days ago ?
If you have backups starting from before the point in time you want to restore to, yes.
Minimum, you need a Full backup to start from and all of the transaction logs from then until the PIT.

What is the quickest path to restoring let's say... 50+ trans logs?
Use the SSMS restore database GUI :)
Or...create a script that reads from the msdb tables and generates the Restore Log statements for you.
Good question, thanks!
