RE: Tail Backup

 

  

You're gonna have to do a restore from the previous nights backup on the new
Disk drive set and hope for the best with the transaction logs.
The below is taken from BOL, and has lots of information about backing up
and restoring databases...
How to restore to the point of failure (Transact-SQL)
To restore to the point of failure
1. Execute the BACKUP LOG statement using the NO_TRUNCATE clause to back up
the currently active transaction log.
2. Execute the RESTORE DATABASE statement using the NORECOVERY clause to
restore the database backup.
3. Execute the RESTORE LOG statement using the NORECOVERY clause to apply
each transaction log backup.
4. Execute the RESTORE LOG statement using the RECOVERY clause to apply the
transaction log backup created in Step 1.
