Database Restore Never Finishes

  • Sql Smith (3/13/2011)


    Old Hand is correct. This is a native SQL backup.

    Ok can see that now. Is there any particular reason why you included NOUNLOAD, you're not restoring from tape are you

    Have you tried taking a fresh backup of the source database and restore from that?

  • Did you try looking at the SQL Server logs? Try command xp_readerrorlog to see what it is doing.

    Thanks,

  • I am having the same issue....will not restore. The backup is from SQL 2000 going to SQL Server 2008 R2. When I run sp_who2 is see that the database is in DB STARTUP.

  • Please start a new thread for your question.
