SQL 2008 one-off backup - stupid mistake.

HI There,

I was asked to perform a quick SQL (2008 r2) prior to performing an upgrade to our SAGE system today. My DBA is off on holiday so I just logged in to do the backup myself.

I right clicked the relevant DBs and selected Backup ...

My intention was to create a full copy to a different location - that wasn't part of the main sequence - but I forgot to click on the "copy-only".

So for one of my DBs, I now have two locations in the Backup dialogue and my backup software (DPM) is whining that the transaction logs have a discontinuity in the chain. This isn't normally something I deal with. I imagine that the fix is simple - I just can't figure it out. Can anyone help?
