I am implementing the following backup strategy
Sunday 2AM: Full Backup
Monday-Saturday 2AM: Differential Backup
Every 10 minutes: Transaction Log Backup
I have set this up on my production database and am now trying to
prepare my self for disaster when it strikes. I am copying the log and
database backups to a test server and attempting to make the the test
server just like the production server was at the time of the last
transaction log backup. I restore the full backup, then the
differential backups with no problems, since there are only up to 6
differential backups to restore.
The problem comes when I want to restore my transaction logs. I could
have around 100 logs to restore to get back to the point of the last
transaction log backup. Is there an interface in Enterprise Manager
that I can say restore Transaction Log x thru z?
