hrRestoreLogTooHigh
State represented by this code
hrRestoreLogTooHigh means the configured starting restore generation is above an available log that belongs to the required set.
The stored value is 0xC800022A (negative JET error -554; -554). Current ESE documentation uses JET_errStartingRestoreLogTooHigh for the corresponding published JET condition.
The first useful distinction is that this is the complementary boundary to hrRestoreLogTooLow, not a complaint that a log filename is numerically large. Start by recording genLow, genHigh, earliest supplied generation, database backup metadata, and hard-recovery parameters.
Data for a reproducible incident
- Code-specific observation: record genLow, genHigh, earliest supplied generation, database backup metadata, and hard-recovery parameters.
Objects and state involved
| Diagnostic layer | the explicit low/high transaction-log generation range used for hard recovery |
|---|---|
| Relevant API surface | JetExternalRestore and JET_LOGINFO range parameters |
| Code-specific condition | the configured starting restore generation is above an available log that belongs to the required set |
| Narrow corrective direction | select the correct starting generation and preserve the continuous sequence |
Phase I requires every mandatory generation needed to bring the backup database to consistency. Later roll-forward logs are optional only after the mandatory range has been satisfied.
Actions that can make diagnosis worse
- Do not skip a mandatory generation to make recovery continue.
- Do not guess range endpoints from filenames alone.
Nearby ESE or AD backup states
It specifically means that this is the complementary boundary to hrRestoreLogTooLow, not a complaint that a log filename is numerically large. Related values below can appear in the same workflow but require a different response:
hrRestoreLogTooLow | the configured upper or ending restore generation is below a log that the restore set requires |
|---|---|
hrInvalidParam | a legacy Directory Service backup/restore call rejected one or more arguments before advancing its context |
hrPatchFileMismatch | the database patch file was not generated from the backup database being restored |
Next actions
- Record it,
0xC800022A, the API name, the current phase, and all live context or file owners. - Verify the condition by recording genLow, genHigh, earliest supplied generation, database backup metadata, and hard-recovery parameters.
- Apply only the targeted fix: select the correct starting generation and preserve the continuous sequence.
