I am studying for a SQL Server exam. A couple of the practice test questions about recovery have had a restore command, THEN a BACKUP LOG command to capture the tail. I do not understand why one would every not backup the tail first.
This particular question did involve restoring a read-only file instead of from a full backup, but I am not sure why that would change the order of operations. Can anyone offer any insight into why backing up the tail would be the 2nd second step in
a restore?
