Restore SQL Server backup with logs from secondary storage with SnapCenter

cheche030 — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 11:15:33 GMT

At my company we are backing up SQL Server by implementing SnapVault against a secondary storage system. We are not able to clone a database with logs from secondary storage if the logs have exceeded the retention time. But we have several snapshots in the secondary storage that contain these logs.

Someone did this?

Hello,

Are you getting a specific error when performing the task that you can share?

I have shared below documentation regrading cloning using snapcenter:

Thanks

I can't use the SnapCenter interface because the logs no longer appear in that interface as they have exceeded the retention time, but I still have the snapshots.

My question is if there is another mechanism to restore those logs that have exceeded the retention time.
