MS-SQL server 2005 fails to restore

  • Dear All,

    I am trying a backup and restore of MS-SQL server 2005. The backup went through but the restore failed with the below error:

    RESTORE requires MAXTRANSFERSIZE=262144 but 65536 was specified.

    [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]RESTORE DATABASE is

    terminating abnormally.'

    Please provide me information/suggestion.

    Thanks,

    Anb

  • Are you perhaps trying to restore a 2005 database to SQL 2000?

  • You may need to set maxtransfersize in your backup statement.

  • Gail,

    No, it is MS-SQL 2005 to MS-SQL 2005.

  • The parameter MAXTRANSFERSIZE is set to 65536.

  • Please post SQL 2005 questions in the SQL 2005 forums. If you post in SQL 2000 forums, we're going to assume the question has soemthing to do with SQL 2000.

    How are you doing the restore? Via the gui or via T-SQL

  • Thanks. I have posted in SQL 2005 forum. And the restore happens through GUI.

  • I meant next time you post. Otherwise it'll be answered in both places with people suggesting stuff that's already been suggested.
