| I already know the answer to this question but I am going to ask it anyway.Someone at our company deleted a subsite of our sharepoint site and we are trying to restore the documents. The issue is we don't have a full backup of the database that can be used only transaction logs. Somehow the full backup is missing from our system backups. Is there a way that you make a full backup of the database and apply transaction in reverse order to get it back to a point.Probably not but it worth the question. Thanks |

| How and why are you taking log backups in the first place without a full backup? The whole point log backups is so that you can restore a full backup and then all of the log backups, one by one, in sequence, to get to the point of failure.How do you expect to be able to recover that should a critical drive fail?--Gail ShawSQL Server MVP |

| You can't take log backups without having done a full backup at some point in time. But you would need to find that backup file and ALL the log dumps since then.________________________________________________If it is not practically useful, then it is practically useless.________________________________________________ |
