QUESTION POSED ON: 10 January 2005 HELP! Our MDF file was somehow corrupted on Dec 31st. We worked with
Microsoft support over the phone for two days trying to repair it...
with no luck.
We also found out that the SQL Server backup has not been working since
October 5th. It was creating the .BAK files, but they were corrupted too!
We still have a LDF file (dated 12/31) and a good MDF file from backup
(dated 10/4).
Microsoft told us that we can't apply the 12/31 LDF file to the 10/4 MDF
file unless we first turn the LDF file into a backup file (BAK file).
When we tried that, the backup fails and Microsoft's support now thinks
the LDF is potentially corrupted.
Can someone tell me if there is a technique or tool that can help us
apply the LDF file to MDF without turning it to a .BAK file first? Is
there a company out there that we could send our LDF and MDF files to
and see if they can repair them?
Any help is appreciated. We've potentially have lost almost three months of
financial data.
