Is there a way to restore ONLY a differential backup on SQL Server?
I have a situation where I only need to view one table that was truncated from an entire database. And instead of trying to restore the entire massive database in it's entirety, I wanted to try and restore only the differential and check to see the condition of that table.
No, the differential backup is based on the differences since the main. It doesn't contain a full usable structure.
