Have you an form of backups that you can perform a point in time restore from or even a snapshot of the db that you can restore the table from that snapshot |

Why aren't your backups scheduled? No one should have to manually backup a database each night.Why is the network administrator responsible for backups in the first place though?Tara KizerMicrosoft MVP for Windows Server System - SQL Serverhttp://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/ |

Actually SQL Agent was stopped for some reason. It is happened sometimes that we see agent is turnned off by itself ( or any other process stop the agent) Do you know what can stop the agent? |

Check the Application Log in Event Viewer for the reason why it stopped.Don't have you monitoring in place to know when services stop either purposefully or unexpectedly? We use Microsoft MOM product to monitor such an event.Tara KizerMicrosoft MVP for Windows Server System - SQL Serverhttp://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/ |

You could take an old backup and restore it to a different db or different server and get the records back that way. But you need to get your backup situation fixed asap though. |

Can we recover just 2 table's for example from the db backup file using third party tools, if so what are those tools. Thanks. |

You could get lumigent log explorer and it can look at your log backup (or live log) and once you find the transaction that dropped the tables, it can generate the script to get it back (I think). Personally I think the best bet is to restore your backup from a day or two earlier to a different db or server and recover your tables that way. |
