Backup Hangs Indefinitely

  • Hi,

    I have backed up a version of a SQL Server 2005 database from my home computer and now I'm trying to restore it to a db on my machine in work.

     RESTORE DATABASE [DB_NAME] FROM DISK = N'F:\DB\20070717_H.bak'

    This then prints out the below

    The media family on device 'F:\iPM\DB\20070717_H.bak' is complete. The device is now being reused for one of the remaining families.

    But remains like that for an indefinite amount of time - i've tried running it for up to 3 hours.  This is a tiny db so far, so 3 hours is crazy.

    I have tried copying the .bak file to a location on the C:\ and ran the same restore command with the new location.  This resulted in the below error

    Msg 3132, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

    The media set has 4 media families but only 1 are provided. All members must be provided.

    Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

    RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.

    Any Help would be greatly appreciated.

  • I got this working now.  When I looked at the script output of the Backup I saw that I had a number of other filenames in there too.  Once I got rid of these (and used WITH FORMAT) it has worked.
