Log Shipping error

warnerr

On three databases, I have received this error message:

SQL Backup log file 6.5.2.18

I am now also getting this error:

 particular recovery point. Find a compatible backup to restore, or restore the rest of the database to match a recovery point within this backup set, which will restore the database to a different point in time.  For more information about recovery 
 paths, see SQL Server Books Online.

Any ideas on how to get around this? What does this mean?

Many thanks in advance.

The first error indicates that the particular trx log backup has already been restored. SQL Backup then raises a warning, and moves the file to the MOVETO location accordingly. This could happen if the previous restore process restored that file, but failed to move the file out to the MOVETO folder, or if another process restored that file without then moving that file out of the folder.

The second error indicates that the database needs to be on a different recovery path. Which version of SQL Server are you using?
