What do you mean? Back again to capture all changes.

I mean take Transactional log backup to capture the changes. While Restoring You can restore your full backup with Norecovery option and Tran log backup with Recovery option.

You have Full backup : (You haven't taken backup since then)
So you restored your database and after that you made a change. So you take transaction log backup to capture all changes from your full backup. So in novice term, you need two backups to have your database upto date.

i just want to import changes from one server to another.
I need to import them because the current database is corrupted and don't work very well.
the back up server uses a back up database (old database).
i need to import changes from the corrupted database (ldf file corrupted only) to the the backup server .
you said that i need two backups to make this happen.
i said maybe i should back up the current database so i can have two backups if i got it right.

How did you know it is corrupted? Did you run CheckDB after restoring? You will have to explain clearly.
