RESTORE failed to a different server

  • I was trying to restore a fullbackup from a legacy server running on SQL Server 2000 to a different server running on 2005.I created the empty database and tried to restore the fullbackup after copying it over to the network to the new server.The restore reached 100% and gave me the following error" System.Data.sqlclient.sqlError:Invalid column name 'Wepay Theypay'.(Microsoft.sqlserver.smo).

    Please could any of u guys help me resolve this issue?

  • Try restore using restore command.

    Restore

  • Sounds like a naming issue. Can you restore the backup without creating a database first?

  • In the database in SQL 2000 check if there is a column which has a 'space' in it. the error looks there is such a column and is failing out there.
