Difficulty in recovering differential backup file

  • I have a full backup on weekends and differential backups on weekdays.

    I tried to recover full bakcup with norecovery option and took the last differential file and tried with recovery option and I got this error:

    One or more of the options (recovery) are not supported for this statement. Review the documentation for supported options.

    Could someone throw some light on this

    Thanks

  • How did you restore the database? If you did not specify the "with norecovery" option when you restored the full database, your database had been alreay recovered.

  • From what you said I think that you restore the full with norecovery and tried to restore the differential with recovery.

    You shouldn't have any error. Can you post the t-sql you used with the differential restore?
