Restore a database to point in time?

Hello All,
I?d like to restore a database to point in time in another SQL Server. I have
a database backup from Production.
I created a new database in Development SQL Server. How can I restore a
database to point in time?
We?re on SQL Server 2000.
Thanks in advance,
Do.

The POINT-IN-TIME recovery will work only if the source database's Recovery
model is set to "FULL" and you should
have a full database backup + subsequent transaction log backups.
Steps:
1. Perform a transaction log backup of the original database (If you have
not performed one)
2. RESTORE DATABASE TEST1 FROM BBA (Give the correct backup file / device
name) WITH NORECOVERY
3. Restore the subsequent transaction log files in order of backup WITH
NORECOVERY option till the final transaction log file
4. In the the final transaction log restore mention WITH RECOVERY and
STOPAT='date and time'
Thanks
