Restore - what happens after 100%

  • Just curious.

    I restore databases very often as I am a developer.

    Some of them has a size, that means that it takes some time.

    I use to backup with the same version as I restore from. I am aware, that if i restore a SQL 2012 with a SQL 2019, the converting takes some time.

    But what happens from 100% to succes. it's generally more than 50% of the time used

     

    Best regards

  • You could look at enabling some trace flags before the restore to get more detailed information. Most of the articles on doing this mention using trace flags 3004 and 3605 - those are the ones I've usually used. This article explains those and has an example:

    When doing a database restore, what actions is the engine taking after it gets past the 100%?

    You can also look at using trace flags 3216 and 3605 to get more details.
