I want to restore my database using the backup files in the backup folder.
The SQL Server is running on Windows.
When I want to restore I do right-click on the databases and choose “Restore”, then I pick “device”, the SQL Server Management Studio opens a popup window to choose the files to restore.
The folder of the backup contain one bak file and a lot of trn files.
I need to select them all in order to restore to complete (I can’t select just one bak or one trn file to restore).
After that I see the script that SQL generates and I can see that not all the .trn files are included in the script.
My question is how does SQL Server decide which trn file to use and which not?
