Hi All,
I am facing one problem.
My Testing Server is down. I have taken full backup 1 hr backup. After that i have taken additional 5 TL backups. All the backups were moved to different server.
Now DB Server is corrupted. Now i have to rebuild the Database Server from the available Backup and TLog Backup.
But i have reliased that all the Transaction Log backup are having no naming convention in File name.

I am wondering after restoring full backup, which tlog backup i should use for next restore.


Thanks in advance.

You can run RESTORE HEADERONLY command on all the avaialble transaction logs and from there find out the Backup timings.
