    MSQL_XP is the wait type that occurs when a task is executing an extended stored procedure.

    MSQL_XP

    Occurs when a task is waiting for an extended stored procedure to end. SQL Server uses this wait state to detect potential MARS application deadlocks. The wait stops when the extended stored procedure call ends.

    There isnt much informatiopn available but i would try and see if any extended stored procedures are being called, or the backup software uses extended procedures

  • thanks for that. Yes SQLBackup does use extended storedprocedures and this is what is issuing the waittype but the question is why? The restore should take seconds not minutes and if i check the status of the restore it says its done, but for some reason that spid is still sat waiting.....
