Chapter 8: Database <strong>Backup</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Restore</strong> with <strong>SQL</strong> <strong>Backup</strong> Pro<br />

Figure 8-17: Identifying the required files for the restore process.<br />

In this example, we need our base full backup <strong>and</strong> our differential backup files. Note<br />

that the availability of the differential backup means we can bypass our first transaction<br />

log backup (DatabaseFor<strong>SQL</strong><strong>Backup</strong>s_Log_1.sqb). However, if for some reason the<br />

differential backup was unavailable, then we could still complete the restore process using<br />

the full backup followed by both the log files.<br />

We're going to overwrite the existing DatabaseFor<strong>SQL</strong><strong>Backup</strong>s database <strong>and</strong> leave<br />

the data <strong>and</strong> log files in their original C:\<strong>SQL</strong>Data directory. Note that the h<strong>and</strong>y File<br />

locations drop-down is an innovation in <strong>SQL</strong> <strong>Backup</strong> 6.5; if using an older version, you'll<br />

need to manually fill in the paths using the ellipsis (…) buttons.<br />
