For this time, I don't have a question but I would like to let you know that a "point in time restore" was succesfully performed today on our production SQL Server 2K.
I can also confirm that QA is the way to go because EM don't works well with "point in time".

I had to restore and recover from the last backup of yesterday (21 PM), plus all the t-logs performed every hours from 7 AM until 15.15 PM.

Happy to see for real, in a production environment that it works!
Thank you for all the answers and the suggestions you gave to me during this years.
This forum is a precious tool to have.
Cheers.

"I can also confirm that QA is the way to go because EM don't works well with "point in time""

I also find the EM is slow to bring up the list of available backups, and usually a restore-to-point-in-time is a very urgent request, so any avoidable delay saving is worth having.

Now go and tell your manage how the good systems your company has in place saved the day - lest they decide that its all a piece of cake and cut costs in next weeks meeting!

How did you do it in qa.....any chance of posting your script.
Whats your database on full .

So you had x number of log files.
I never did a restore from log files only ever from bak and all our databases are in simple...
