    The question threw me off. Tuesday @ 4pm is not the 'latest differential backup'. Wednesday 8am is.

    I have some sympathy with this view. So many QotDs have tried to be 'clever' that many people are wary of ambiguous wording such as "Restore all transaction log backups taken since the latest differential backup".

    I hesitated before choosing the correct answer: I was half-expecting to get this 'wrong' with a smug explanation relying on the ambiguity. That would have been tedious in the extreme, but I have seen worse on QotD.

    A good question overall, based on an important concept. Well done, Lynn. I just wish there wasn't that small ambiguity.
