• Thanks for answering the question. I would like to run one more thing by you just to clear up something in my mind.

    If we have log backups taken every hour, but somewhere along the line lose the original full database backup. Can we just a take another full database backup? Will the "very next scheduled" log backup reset the chain to this new database backup or do we need to issue a special command to tell SQL Server this full backup is the new starting point?
