You have to perform the differential restore from Query Analyzer since
Enterprise Manager doesn't support differentials.  Look up restore
(described) in books online for more info.  Make sure you use the norecovery
option until the last transaction log restore.  For example:
 
use master
go
restore database briandb from disk = 'c:\temp\briandb_full.bak' with
norecovery
go
restore database briandb from disk = 'c:\temp\briandb_diff.bak' with
norecovery  -- SQL will know that this is a differential backup
go
restore log briandb from disk = 'c:\temp\briandb_log.trn' with recovery
go
 
Good luck,
Matt

Hello All,

 

I am trying to restore a SQL database that had 1 SQL database backup, 1 SQL
differential, and 1 Transaction Log.  When I go into the SQL GUI on my
Windows NT4 Machine to initiate the restore, all I see is the Full Database
backup and the Transaction Log.  I do not see the differential.  Does anyone
know why?

 

Thanks for any help given!

 

Brian Hall
