I'm trying to figure out a way to restore DB02 from the most recent backup of DB01.
Something like:
RESTORE DATABASE DB02 FROM DISK = 'Z:\SQLServerBackups\DB01XXXX.bak'
But DB01XXXX.bak will always be different obviously.
Hopefully that makes sense. Thanks.
This is an old SP I used to use for restoring databases automatically you might be able to take ideas from it http://www.nigelrivett.net/SQLAdmin/s_RestoreDatabase.html
If we have to restore latest backups we needed to find fully qualified backup file path, then we need to find its logical names then data & log file locations all these activities need to be carried out manually.
