    on the 2 servers that are not working as expected please run the following query.

    select differential_base_lsn, differential_base_time

    from sys.master_files

    where database_id = DB_ID('yourdb')

    and type = 0

    group by differential_base_lsn, differential_base_time

    If the result is the same on the primary and the secondary,

    • take a differential backup on the primary
    • disable the LS agent backup job on the primary
    • disable the copy and restore jobs on the secondary
    • restore the differential to the secondary
    • Once done re enable any jobs
    • create a new table
    • run all jobs and check object exists

    Thank you so much for being patience but this is what I did.

    Took the differential backup on the Primary

    Disable backup job on Primary

    Disable copy job and restore job on secondary

    On secondary server, when I try to restore by expanding DB, task and restore, I only see 1 option (transactional log) highlighted. Database and files and filegroups option are not highlighted.
