I have an SQL Server 2005 instance whose full backup (.BAK) failed due to low disk space. However half hourly transaction log backups continue (.TRN). Assuming I have an older full backup, could these continuing transaction logs be used to restore the database?
i.e. do the transaction log backups only run from the last successful backup and ingore any intermediate failed full backups?
I would have thought the failed backup would be rolled back, so the ongoing transaction log backups plus a full database restore prior to these, should be sufficient to restore a database.
Having said that, I would fix this issue as soon as possible, it’s not a good position to be in.
