Transaction Log File Replay

Hi

Is it possible to replay transaction logs generated after database backup?

I mean situation:

1) I have transaction logs generated after database backup

2) I have database lost.

3) I restore exchange database

4) How to replay transaction logs generated after database backup (to have
mails received after last backup)???



Thanks

Yes provided that the log sequence is complete and that none of the log
files are corrupted

Hi

Thanks but I couldn't find solution.



If I restore backup and replace log file with logs after backup and then
replay them with ESEUTIL /cc it replay only first file

I tried with

ESEUTIL /r enn /L[path to log files] /s[path to checkpoint file] /d[path to
database file] /i

but I don't see messages received after backup



Thanks

Unfortuantely I don't have time to go into long explanations on how this
works but read this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/232938

and make sure that you know which settings in your backup solution
correspond to ntbackup's Last Restore Set

After db restore prior to mounting, delete your checkpoint file chk.
This will force your db to read all the logs files when you mount.
