Grant, I have been motivated by your article and am trying this myself. I just have two things that I don't understand. You say that the last database backup was made at midnight and that the database crashed at 08:37 which gives you 35 backups up to 08:45 but obviously you do not want the bad logs so that is why you stop at 08:37. Why the is your @FileCount only 18? 'Scuse me if I'm stupid or maybe it's just a hypothetical figure?

That's all I want to know.:D:D:D
