Why does my sql server database "full backup" not contain recent data? -


I migrate just one SQL Server 2008 database, while the sales staff went for lunch. I did a full backup and then copied the backup to the new server, where I restored it in the new SQL Server installation.

The employee returned from lunch and told me that some of the recent deals were not visible in the system before lunch. On the investigation it seems that the complete backup did not include some recent data that was added to the database before the performance of the backup.

I suspect that I am not writing account for that transaction log, but is not an MSSQL expert, I'm not completely sure what I'm doing wrong. Can anyone tell me in the right direction?

Do you have only a database, or transaction log? My guess is that you have not done backup transaction logs, which will not include recent transactions, which have not yet been added to the MDB file.
