RE: Tail Log backup?

Thank you for your forum post.

You can perform a backup of transactions in the tail of the transaction log. When you run the Restore Wizard. At step 2 of the wizard, you have the choice to overwrite an existing database or create a new database. When you select the choice to overwrite an existing database you get a dialog that asks how you like to proceed:

Backup the transaction log before proceeding with the restore. This option is the tail backup.

Discard transactions in the tail of the transaction log (WITH REPLACE).

I hope the above answers your question.

Many Thanks
Eddie
