We had a major failure with one of our store servers on the evening of the 13Th. We got a new server up and running on the 15th and restored the backup from the night of the 12th to it. When we put the tills back online the sales correctly uploaded to the store database.
We were not too worried about losing the sales info for the 13Th from the store database as it was already recorded in the HQ database.
However when i checked the HQ database today (Monday) the sales for that store for the 13th is no longer there. I thought it may be an indexing issue but looking at the actual sales transaction tables the data is gone.
I am assuming a maintenance routine run over the weekend did the damage but not sure what the fix is.
The maintenance routine run in SQL server management studio does 5 things.
1. Checks Database Integrity
2. Reorganises the index
3. Backup database
4. Maintenance Cleanup task
5. Update statistics task
I have backups of the HQ database. Would there be a way of integrating the missing data back in or am i on the wrong track.
Thanks
Shane
