    There is insufficient free space on disk volume 'F:\' to create the database. The database requires 6487212032 additional free bytes, while only 919869440 bytes are available.

    Server: Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 5

    RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally

    <<<<< end of results

    I have only 4.5gb of free disk space. Is there a way to just restore the .mdf file (I have enough disk space for this file) ?

    If not, can the script/command be told to continue (i know i will run out of disk space), so I will have just the one mdf file?

    thanks for any/all help!

  • You can restore with move option. This allows you to move the log file.

    Or buy a bigger disk.
