pronto 16 Report post Posted February 3, 2015 Hi forum, we try to restore a single SQL database (based on Microsoft SQL server 2008) but if we select a differential backup, Retrospect tells us that it isn't able to restore from that source, -> "select another source". If we select the latest full backup it works as expected. The checbox "Restore any needed intermediate Snapshots" is activated. We discover a problem during the differential backup, Retrospect logs the error that only full backups of the master database is possible. We don't know if there is a connection? Does anyone know what's going wrong? Thx & Bye Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pronto 16 Report post Posted February 9, 2015 Servus Antti The master db's recovery model is 'simple' and you can only do full backups. does it mean, that I can't backup the SQL Server on the whole, if a differential backup from another database than the master db is needed? Otherwiese does it mean that I can only backup single databases if differential backups are needed? It seems that the differential backups from the other databases than the master db are broken also.
