Restore Hangs for Several Minutes

  • When using Enterprise Manager to restore a database on SQL7 SP3, the program stops responding for several (5-10) minutes before the restore dialog box appears. This can be replicated on both the server and from remote workstation with Enterprise Manager. Does anyone know a fix or cause of this behavior?

  • I've seen cases where it was slow if you had a large number of db's or a lot of backup history (or both).

  • I have also had this problem with 7 when restoring from tape. Had to read the tape for verifitcation of what backups were on it I believe.

  • I too faced a similar problem while restoring a SQL 7.database. The reason was the database i took the backup had the size defined as 1 gb datafile and 500mb log file..

    while restoring this back up to a new database SQL actually took time to create the file of the same size...Possible you are too facing similar problem...

  • I've had this issue on SQL Server 2K as well. It seems sporadic and I can't pinpoint why. I do have multiple drives mapped, some to different domains, but I haven't really traced it down.

    It also occurred on my SQL2K, SP1 server, which has no drives mapped.
