Title
Can Log Reader read a transaction log backup file without a full database backup? -
Description
Is it possible to read a LiteSpeed transaction log backup file, without including the full backup file of the database.
-
Resolution
A full database backup is required to read transaction log entries from a native or LiteSpeed backup file.
WORKAROUND
Use the Log Reader 'Read online transaction log' instead of 'Read a backup file' and select the option 'Parse only transaction logs from the list above'.
