- SQL Server 2008 on Windows Server 2008
- on VMWare
- Netbackup 7.5
Backup is done via Netbackup on VMWare level through snapshots. So a snapshot of the entire VM is taken.
This can snapshot can be seen on my Windows server in the "Netbackup MS SQL Client" gui; there I can see the SQL Server snapshots.
I can even restore these snapshots just fine.
But what if I want to roll forward into time ?
Example : I take a snapshot at 15h and at 19h I decide to restore to a point in time let's say 17h. So I restore the SQL Server snapshot and then the database is at level of 15h. I need it to be at 17h. How do I do that ?
From the NBU client gui, I can see transaction log backups but I am unable to apply them to the snapshot restore. There does not seem to be a link.
Any suggestions ?
of perhaps it is even not possible to roll forward with a snapshot restore ?
Kind regards,
Benny Derous.
