Restore an entire sequence of transaction logs created after 10-Jan-2008, up to a point in time on 16-Jan-2008 3:30 AM.
I could use the following query to display the files I need to restore in sequence:
SELECT b.physical_device_name, a.backup_set_id, b.family_sequence_number, a.position, a.backup_start_date, a.backup_finish_date
FROM msdb..backupset a
INNER JOIN msdb..backupmediafamily b ON a.media_set_id = b.media_set_id
WHERE a.database_name = 'AdventureWorks'
AND a.type = 'L'
AND a.backup_start_date > '10-Jan-2007'
AND a.backup_finish_date < '16-Jan-2009 3:30'
ORDER BY a.backup_start_date, b.family_sequence_number
log shipping breaks on the secondary server due to an out-of-sequence log.
I could run something like this to find out the last 10 transaction log backups for a particular database:
SELECT TOP 20 b.physical_device_name, a.backup_start_date, a.first_lsn, a.user_name FROM msdb..backupset a
INNER JOIN msdb..backupmediafamily b ON a.media_set_id = b.media_set_id
WHERE a.type = 'L'
ORDER BY a.backup_finish_date DESC
