Here is the situation. I have restored a database to replace an existing version (need to get it back to yesterday at a certain time). So I do a RESTORE DATABASE ... WITH NORECOVERY, REPLACE, etc... with no problem.
There are about 16 transaction logs that I need to then restore as well to get the database to the point in time that I need it. The first RESTORE LOG completes with success. The second one tells me 100% complete, but immediately after that I get this message:
An error occurred while processing the log for database 'MyDb'. If possible, restore from backup. If a backup is not available, it might be necessary to rebuild the log.
What exactly does this mean?? I did some research and it looks like a few things can cause this, and none of the examples/situations I read about had to do with a RESTORE LOG. Does this possibly mean my transaction log backup is corrupt??
Is there any remedy to this?

Sounds like the data in the log backup might have been corrupted. Can you restore the next log ok, or do you get an error at that point as well?
