Hi Steve,

The production and take up of Hybrid vehicles is a step in the right direction. What amazes me is why here in the US do we overlook Diesel engines....

What size is the backup?

Is the data important in the backup file?

This exact command should work:

restore verifyonly from disk = 'f:\cp.bak'

RESTORE VERIFYONLY FROM "f:\cp.bak"

encapsulate it in quotes

RESTORE VERIFYONLY FROM [yourbackupfile]

Example:

RESTORE VERIFYONLY FROM e:\backups\pubs.bak

In Books online you can check further syntax, search for RESTORE VERIFYONLY.

Try your verify only command as suggested. If the backup is corrupt, we do provide a service to recover the data, if the data is important to you.

If you suspect it could be the same issue as the KB, then I would raise a call with MS.
