I am not sure why the restore job on the UK backup originally failed but it was on the 6th December. I have not been able to find any information on that as it does not go back that far in the job history.

The message we get now when it fails is that it cannot find a log file old enough to restore. We drop the log files after 7 days so there will not be one for the date/time it was last restored.

The restore job on the US server never failed so the database there is fine and up to date.

I wondered whether I can disable the backup job on the live server here and the copy and restore jobs on the UK backup then copy the database from the live server, restore it on the backup server then enable the jobs again. It sounds to me that it would work, just looking for confirmation.

Thank you for replying.
