Hi John,
Yes, But while restoring you must use STANDBY (undo file name) file name in
RESTORE DATABASE and RESTORE LOG command.
eg:-
RESTORE DATABASE TESTDB FROM DISK='d:\backup.bak' with
standy='d:\stanby.fil'
After this you could start restoring the Transaction logs based on a
frequency. To load the transaction logs you could use the below command
RESTORE LOG TESTDB FROM DISK='d:\backuplog.bak' with standy='d:\stanby.fil'
Thanks
