  I am gettting restoring errors(restore job failing) :-

  Exclusive access could not be obtained beacuse the database is in use.

  I ran :-

  alter database dbname

  set single_user

  with rollback immediate

  alter database dbname set multi_user

  Then again tried restoring manually and then again the same error.

  Make sure that you are not using the database (as in, your connection that you ran the ALTER DATABASE in)

  Do you see any sessions running against that database ? May be look at activity Monitor and filter by the database and see if there is any session connected...

  Try this:

  Step 1:

  alter database dbname

  set single_user

  with rollback immediate

  Step 2: (Immediately after Step 1)

  Restore database dbname from device = '<filepath>'

  Your databae will be in multi_user mode after the restore. If not you can execute following:

  alter database dbname set multi_user
