Dropped Table

Help!! I dropped two tables, what a stupid!!.
However, I have a Complete Backup from my
database "mydata" created at june, 24th 18:21 and after
dropped those tables I create a new complete backup that
was yesterday june 25th 18:55
I restored my backup of 24th on another Sql_server
(hopefully I was installing a new server to change this
one I am using now) but I can't restore the transaction
log of the 25th backup because It says something like, I
need another transaction log, but I don't have it!!.
So I have my data until 24th 18:21 but I need to recover
all the data!!
Please HELP ME!!!!
You should have made a transaction log backup on the 25:th instead of a database backup.
In SQL Server, you can restore a database backup and then a number of transaction log backups. You
cannot skip over a log backup, as all log records need to be applied one after the other. This seems
to be your situation, that you are missing a log backup. You can look in the backup history tables
in msdb to see when the log backups were performed and to where. These tables has a rather complex
structure, though. Also, there are some operations that just cut the log without doing a backup.
This will also infer with a log backup restore sequence. I suggest you open a case with MS PSS so
they can help you through this situation as this is very difficult to do over a newsgroup...
