Restoring filegroup backups
You can periodically back
up only read-write filegroups as a part of your backup strategy. If
periodically is the method you use, see the instructions for that
type of restore.
Information is also
available for how to restore read-only filegroups.

Note:
|
If
you attempt to restore a single differential backup without first
restoring the preceding database backup file, SQL Server halts the
load process. An error such as 4305 or 4306 is displayed. If you
plan to restore a single differential, then you are responsible for
first restoring the database backup file. You can avoid this
problem by backing up the entire sequence of transaction logs. Also
back up the differential backup and the backup file to the same
NetBackup server. Then you can restore the entire sequence of
backup objects.
