Hello,
I have a query about restoring and the transaction log and would be grateful for any advice you might have.
We have an application that uses a sort of workflow and the contents of the table that keeps track of where something is within the workflow was deleted. We ended up restoring the one table from our previous backup and using a mix of guesswork and presumption we did our best to figur out where everything was supposed to be.
It sort of worked - time will tell us how well it worked. We probably had it coming. Anyway, looking forwards what I was wondering about the transaction log - I'm told that if you know what you're doing there are ways of using it to retore your database to points prior to "disaster" situations. I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction as to how I could implment this.
Thanks in advance,
Tom
