Hi, i am just curious to know that here you didn't give a specific time until where the data needs to be restored so exactly how is this a PIT recovery. Please correct me if i missed something.
I am trying to restore prod db from prod server to test server over test db. Have copied full and diff backups to test server. Problem - when I want to do diff restore, I cannot do it, because cannot add at the same time full and diff files into window. Only one file is visible, either full or diff, but not both together. Please assist, what is wrong? Why diff backup does not match with full backup? I have only full and diff backup files no any transaction files.
Thanks for the tutorial. One question though about point in time recovery. Let's say your database is in full recovery mode and you have a full backup that done at midnight every day and something goes wrong at 8:00AM. Is there a way to restore the last full backup and then roll forward the changes from the transaction log file (Not transaction log backup) to say 7:59AM? If so how would you do that?
+John-Rock Bilodeau it is possible but you would need perhaps third part software to read the ldf (sql log reader etc.). I have not done this before but I have read about it - I believe engine won't be able to do it but records can be read from log file and reapply to the database. Really great question though. I should do this experiment too.
Hey, so i was looking into this a bit more and found out a few thing i thought would be worth sharing. If something was simply deleted from the database and you need to restore to a point in time recovery you can do a tail log backup of the transaction log or even simply a transaction log backup and restore that in conjunction with your full backup. The difference with the tail log backup is that it places the db in no recovery mode so that it is ready for restoring...at least that's my understanding. if you completely loose the drives where your log files are, then your only as good as your last backup, but in the case where the database is still only you should be able to do this to capture the rest of the change in the transaction log backup. also you don't simply want to restore the entire log file, you would need to specify the stopat time.
TechBrothersIT brother i have backup ,but its old. How can i get yesterday sales details from old backup...that’s why i ask if you have any other option? Pls
Before you start saying it’s not accurate, please know the scope of the video, scenario as well as the version where it is being performed. Were you looking help in stopat option when you ended up on watching this video? I am just curious:)
The whole DBA Tutorial playlist is just gold, thanks
Thank you
Very helpful for us rookies. Cheers! :)
Glad to hear that!
GREAAAT VIDEO, very good and simple explanations. Thank you so much
You mentioned that the restore can be done in one step instead of two steps. Can you elaborate the one step only to restore the database?.

Hi, it was a great video. However, wanted to know one thing that our db model should be in full recovery mode? Or in simple mode will do?
@Abdul Rehman Freak thanks

Instablaster...
there is no demo of 6.09 pm trans log backup . Can you explain clearly about tail backup and restore .Thanks
4:10 it only allows me to add full backup and not the differential ones...
It is not PTR Bro, it is recovery, WHERE U USED PTR
can i get the deleted database from sql server 2005?
please help ,
if you have any suggestion to solve this problem
Hi,if you have deleted/dropped the database, you can only restore from the backup if you have.
The only option you have is to restore the database from backup, do you have backup of deleted database somewhere?

This is not accurate. You should've used STOPAT parameter for an appropriate explanation of the point in time.
