Hi,

I needed to delete and restore my database so I did a backup, I used the Append and not the overwrite method. I then deleted the DB but in the process deleted the BAckup and restore History. When I restored my DB it was from the original backup set date..A lot of worked lost..!

Is there any way to get the recover my data..?

Cheers

Run 'restore headeronly' to get recent backup's file number, then restore with 'file =' option using restore statement.

You have to run the statement in query analyzer.
