    What does FILE = 1, NOUNLOAD, & STATS = 10 mean in a Restore statement? Thanks.

    Lookup RESTORE in BOL. If you still don't understand, let us know and we will try to clear up any confusion you may have.

    OK, read the BOL and it answered 2 of the 3. On the "File = 1", is this the default value? Could I get some examples as to when it would be equal to 2 or 3 and how does the numbering work? Thanks.

    Yes, FILE = 1 is the default. You would use FILE = 2 (or some other number) if you append backup files to the same device or file. If you create a new file for every backup (full, differential, or transaction log), then FILE = 1 can be left off the RESTRE command.

    Does that help?
