Hi Community,

 

Being a bit new to differential back up here. I have done Full Back up restoration before, but not so sure about differential ones.

 

May I ask to steps to restore back SQL differential Backup in SQL 2016 management studio?

 

Thank you!

    Otherwise:

    - Latest full back

    + Latest differential backup

    + All log backups since latest diff backup
