I have a database that performed a full back up at 2 AM this morning. Since then, transaction log backups have occurred at 7 AM, 10 AM, and 1 PM. The 10 AM backup generated a 3013 error for some unknown reason. The 10 AM TRN file exists, but it is missing from the backup system tables. The LSNs in the backup system tables for the 7 AM and 1 PM tlog backups match (i.e., the last_lsn of the 7 AM backup matches the first_lsn of the 1 PM backup).

If I were to recover this database before the next full backup, I assume I would skip the 10 AM TRN file even though it exists. Is this correct?

Thanks,
Ray

If the LSNs link up for 7am and 1pm, then yes you'd skip the 10am tlog.
