After switching to SQL 2005 I now get an error when trying to restore over a database from a backup:

The tail of the log for the database "DST08000TUSD" has not been backed up. Use
BACKUP LOG WITH NORECOVERY to backup the log if it contains work you do not
want to lose.

So I looked up the backup log with norecovery on the microsoft technet and it said to write backup log database to filelocation with norecovery

Here is what I try and I get bad syntax near C:

BACKUP LOG DST08000TUSD TO C:\ WITH NORECOVERY
