SQL Server Point in Time Recovery

 Oooooouch !!! I have deleted critical data in the ledger table !!!

When we ran delete or drop Script on any database without double check , Its Really big problem for the end users !!! Also you wont sleep 😁😁😁

If you have GODDBA , you are saved millions dollars of your data also your valuable customers . 

Oh Great 😀😀😀 How we can achieve that ? 

In SQL Server Multiple Database Backup Methods are available to tackle that , 

If SQL Server database is in full recovery model we can take transaction log backups on every hour/Minute/Seconds into local or remote drives . 

So, Yes am taking Log Backup 😕😕😕 How to we restore particular time ? 

Using with transaction logs we can bring back the data as much as you want depends on your log backup strategy . 

To achieve that here is the automated point in time restore script for your valuable environment ,

Scripts are available in https://github.com/selvackp/SQLServerPointInTimeRestore.git

So finally you have saved your millions dollars worth of data in 10 Minutes !!!
