You can run this command in <strong>SSMS, SQLCMD utility<\/strong>, or any third-party application. This command restores the database using full, differential, and transaction log database backup.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>a) Restore Full SQL Server Database Backup<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The full backup includes all the details to restore the database to the point in time when the backup process was completed. If the database already exists, it will overwrite the files. For example, you need to restore the &#8216;<strong>TestDB<\/strong>&#8216; database with the <strong>backup file name &#8216;TestDB_Full.bak&#8217;<\/strong>, which is stored in the &#8216;<strong>E:\\&#8217; drive<\/strong>.

The latest differential backup compiles all the changes of all previous differential backups. Thus, you just need to restore the most recent differential backup.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Before you restore the differential backup, you need to first run the query to restore the full backup with the <strong>NORECOVERY<\/strong> option. Then, restore the last differential backup with the <strong>RECOVERY<\/strong> option.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>RESTORE DATABASE TestDB FROM DISK = &#8216;E:\\TestDB_Full.bak\u2019 WITH NORECOVERY<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>GO<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>RESTORE DATABASE TestDB FROM DISK = &#8216;E:\\TestDB_Diff.diff\u2019 WITH RECOVERY<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>GO<\/em><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>C) Restore Transaction Log SQL Server Database Backup<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The transactional log backups consist of all the transactions that occurred between the last full backup and when the backup process had been completed. Therefore, you need to restore all the transaction log backups created after the last differential backup in the same sequence as they were created.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Log backups are restored after the full and differential backups. You need to execute the following commands.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>RESTORE DATABASE TestDB FROM DISK = &#8216;E:\\TestDB_Full.bak\u2019 WITH NORECOVERY<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>GO<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>RESTORE DATABASE TestDB FROM DISK = &#8216;E:\\TestDB_Diff.diff\u2019 WITH NORECOVERY<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>GO<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>RESTORE LOG TestDB FROM DISK = &#8216;E:\\TestDB_log1.trn\u2019 WITH NORECOVERY<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>GO<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>RESTORE LOG TestDB FROM DISK = &#8216;E:\\TestDB_log2.trn\u2019 WITH RECOVERY<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>GO<\/em><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong id=\"srv3\">3) SqlBackupAndFtp Application<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you have used <strong>SqlBackupAndFtp<\/strong> to create the backups, you can easily restore the database from the history pane.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13475 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/history_and_restore1-285x300.png\" alt=\"history_and_restore[1]\" width=\"285\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/history_and_restore1-285x300.png 285w, https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/history_and_restore1-143x150.png 143w, https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.co.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/history_and_restore1.png 462w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 285px) 100vw, 285px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is used to restore the database on the same server where the backups were created.
