Problem - restore step is failing for one out of four dbs...

I just set this up Friday, and it appeared that everything was fine, but I checked the failures log this morning and 1 out of 4 databases failed every restore attempt on the standby server. What follows is the error that keeps repeating for every restore attempt.

What I'm confused about is why this is only happening to one out of four databases. They were set up identically, so I would expect all four to fail or all four to succeed on such mundane things as logins.

The other thing that has me baffled is I have email set up to send status of EVERY job. I only had SUCCESS messages all weekend.

Anyone know what is going on?

    It looks like a fairly harmless warning message (as opposed to an error message). It indicates that there were no log backups to restore. Maybe staggering the restore job in such a way that there will always be a log backup waiting would make the warning message stop.
