I have a theoretical question, let's say that you have a DB with a weekly full backup and hourly transaction logging. If for some reason the datafile is lost requiring a restore of the database, AND the full backup is corrupted, is it possible to do a restore using the transaction logs only? I manually replicated the scenario but couldn't find anyway of restoring the DB using just the transaction logs without the full backup, though in theory (I thought) it should be possible, right?
