For once it is ok :hehe: :laugh:

If you have a large usb-disk that could house the temporary restored db db-files, you could start your sqlserver with an extra parameter, perform your restore, copy your table, drop...

- Yes ... but not with the propriatary MS tools.

- you could restore the db using a new dbname (and file-set) and then copy the rows of the desired table...

use bulk insert in combination with bulk logged recovery model

Keep in mind changing the recovery model will affect your DRP !

Your update trigger needs to be firred !

Then you can check the update content.

CREATE TRIGGER tr_CallDetail ON CallDetail

as

if object_id('dbo.yourtable') is not null

begin

drop table dbo.yourtable

end
