SQL Server 2005 Restore Error

[Jayakrishnan]

In SQL Server 2005, I need to append data using restore option. How to
deal with this. I need to append data not to overwrite.

I tried "RESTORE WITH RECOVERY" option. I received the following error.

"The tail of the log for the database "pubs" has not been backed up. Use
BACKUP LOG WITH NORECOVERY to backup the log if it contains work you do
not want to lose. Use the WITH REPLACE or WITH STOPAT clause of the
RESTORE statement to just overwrite the contents of the log.
(Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)"

I tried Backup with transaction log option. and restored it. I received
the following error.

"The log or differential backup cannot be restored because no files are
ready to rollforward. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)"

Thanks in advance.
