  • Hi,

    If you had lost the 11am backup file then you can restore point in time upto 10am only. There is no way that you can restore up to 12

    Thanks

    No way out. The log chain must be unbroken to restore. As soon as a log file is lost, all log backups after that point are useless until anther full backup is made.
