I have a database with recovery model set to full.
Yesterday I did a mistake and deleted some importent data. I have an old backup of the database file but not for the transaction log. After I deleted the data the database was backed up again. Now I have a large transaction log but ofcourse only small part of him active. I used some transactoin log viewers but all show just the active part of the log. Is the anyway to recover the data up to the point I made the deletion?
TIA,
Hagai

You can only recover the data if you've got a transaction log backup that has the data, which it sounds like you don't.

As Tara stated, without a transaction log backuop, you cannot recover that data in between the time of your last backup and the deletion.

In case this happens again, immediately take a transaction log backup and note the time the delete occured so that you can recover to just before that time.
