Backup and Restore SQL Database

Hi Team,


Is it possible to restore below combination of backups?
Full backup performed by T-SQL and Log backup performed by Symantec Net Backup (NBU)

The reason is, in my organization we are using Netbackup for all SQL servers (Weekly Full/Daily Log)
If any backup (Full) fails, just we are using T-SQL for that. In case can i restore T-SQL full backup and NBU log backup?

No Vitor. We are not taking any T-log backup only Full backup if onlly NBU backups failed.
Without transaction lg backup, you forgo the restore to a specific time. Making the potential loss the largest amount of time between full backups.

I.e. Five minutes before the current scheduled full backup an errand run corrupts data, the restore will be to the last prior backup.

To maximize data protection, one should use a combination of full backups and transaction log backups.

You shoukd test using a test server with SQL, and restore e DB from the backups you have.
