How to Recover a Database After a Failed Point-in-Time Restore

A point-in-time restore can fail because logs are incomplete, the selected timestamp is invalid, or dependencies do not match.

Checks to make

Preserve the failed restore environment and logs, verify base backup and transaction log continuity, and select a valid recovery target. Retry in isolation, validate database consistency and application behavior, and avoid replacing production until the owner approves.
