本文描述： 主数据文件损坏(或丢失)， 而事务日志文件未损坏的情况下， 如何备份尾部事务日志（自上次备份日志，至发生损坏这段时间的事务日志）.    (当然，这么做的目的，是可以恢复数据库至损坏前的最近状态)。

-- 1.创建测试数据库, 设置为"完整"恢复模式

go

-- Initiate a Full backup of the database

use [master]

Backup database [TestDB] to disk = 'C:/TestDB.bak'

-- Insert base data

use [TestDB]

insert into dbo.demotable1 default values;

-- verify base data

select * from TestDB.dbo.demotable1;

go

-- Initiate the 1st T-log backup

use [master]

backup log [TestDB] to disk = 'c:/testDB1.trn';

-- Insert some additional data

use [TestDB]

insert into dbo.demotable1 default values;

go 15

-- verify all the data in the database

select COUNT(*) from TestDB.dbo.demotable1;

go

/*(total = 25, till log backup it was 10)*/

-- 手动模拟故障: 关闭实例, 手动删除主数据文件, 再启动实例

-- initiate the crash, for this demo, I've shutdown the server and

-- delete the data file manually, to verify whether the tail-log backup is

-- possible or not if the data file is not available

-- try to access the table

-- 备份尾部事务日志

-- 恢复至故障发生前的最新状态.
