If you lost some intermediate backup files?

  • [アーティクル]

It’s sometimes really challengeable to restore a database if you lost some intermediate backup files such as Full or Differential backups.

Let's assume backups have been taken in below order.

Timeline Backup Type Backup Name
t1 Full Backup F1
t2 Diff Backup D1
t3 TLog Backup T1
t4 TLog Backup T2
t5 Full Backup F2
t6 Diff Backup D2
t7 TLog Backup T3
t8 TLog Backup T4
t9 Diff Backup D3
t10 TLog Backup T5
t11 TLog Backup T6

 

If some of these backup files (exp. F2,D1,D2 or D3) are lost or damaged, don’t worry you still have a chance to restore the database to "t11" time.

Different restore paths can be used to restore underlying database to "t11" time. You can see the valid restore paths below

image

But the below restore paths are invalid

F1-D3-T5-T6 (Because D3 differential backup needs F2 full backup)
F2-D3-T6 (Because T6 log backup needs T5 log backup)

Here some additional notes for Differential and TLog backups;

  • For Differential backups;
            Only the last differential backup needs to be restored
            Differential backup needs last taken full backup.
            Only full backup affect the differential backup sequence
  • For TLog backups;
            All log backups need to be restored
            Log backup needs previous log backups. They are incremental.
            Only log backups affect the log backup sequence

And now let’s make a demo to see above valid restore paths

Backups have been taken in this order

Timeline Backup Type Backup Name

-------- ----------- -----------

t1                Full Backup F1

t2                Diff Backup D1

t3                TLog Backup T1

t4                TLog Backup T2

t5                Full Backup F2

t6                Diff Backup D2

t7                TLog Backup T3

t8                TLog Backup T4

t9                Diff Backup D3

t10               TLog Backup T5

t11               TLog Backup T6

Valid Restore Paths

------------------------

Restore Path 1 : F2-D3-T5-T6

Restore Path 2 : F2-D2-T3-T4-T5-T6

Restore Path 3 : F2-T3-T4-T5-T6

Restore Path 4 : F1-D1-T1-T2-T3-T4-T5-T6

Restore Path 5 : F1-T1-T2-T3-T4-T5-T6

Some Invalid Restore Paths

-------------------------

F1-D3-T5-T6 (Because D3 differential backup needs F2 full backup)

F2-D3-T6 (Because T6 log backup needs T5 log backup)
