  Hi,

  We are using lite speed for backups. Yesterday, at 6:15pm, the log backup job is failed. The SQL Server error log says, the log backup was done but there is NO backup file on disk. The restore job on Subscriber is trying to restore the 6:15 pm backup file and it's keep failing. The subsequent log backups are running fine but the restore is keep failing to restore the 6:15 pm backup file which dos not exist on disk.

  Did not understand the fact that, error log says the backup happened but there is no file, the SQLAgent says the backup job failed.

  Backup job log:

  Restore job failure:

  Msg 61700, Level 16, State 1, Line 0

  Unexpected termination on thread: 1, Return code: x80770004

  RESTORE LOG is terminating abnormally.

  The log in this backup set begins at LSN 517000010385500001, which is too recent to apply to the database. An earlier log backup that includes LSN 517000010385200001 can be restored.

  Please advise.

  Question: how to get the log backup file names from msdb with the log sequence number LSN 517000010385200001?
