3.

To apply the transaction logs as well as to recover the database to the point in time desired,
enter the following restore commands at the command prompt:
a.

Enter the following command for the first to the penultimate backed-up transaction logs
in the sequence:

RESTORE log database name from transaction log backup media with

norecovery;

The database is still in “no recovery” mode. You can now apply the backed-up transaction
logs to update the database to the point of failure.

b.

Enter the following command for the last backed-up transaction log:

RESTORE log database name from transaction log backup media with

recovery; -stopat “timestamp"

For example:

RESTORE log northwind from Disk='G:\log1.bak' with norecovery;

RESTORE log northwind from Disk='G:\log2.bak' with norecovery;

RESTORE log northwind from Disk='G:\log3.bak' with recovery;

-stopat "Jun 28, 2006 5:44 PM"

Recovering Data with Auto-Restore

You can use an auto-restore feature to restore a database from a virtual copy to a point in failure
at database level and also use it for restoring multiple databases of a given instance level virtual
copy.

A database can be restored from using either a File Copy or Volume copy.

NOTE:

If you have named your database log files to a non-default name, do not use a selective

database restore with the non-default database from a instance level virtual copy. For example, if
your database name is rmsdb.mdf, the log file name must be rmsdb_log.ldf and not any other
name. In some cases when the log file name is not a default name, use the file copy restore at a
database level or file copy restore of the complete instance level virtual copy.
