  • It seems that you performed the backup to 3 devices in place of 1.... U have to specify all them

    RESTORE DATABASE AdventureWorks FROM DISK = 'c:\..\backupset1.bak', DISK = 'c:\..\backupset2.bak', DISK= 'c:\..\backupset3.bak'

  • I got this backup file from (SDMS_OLAP.bak) some one of my team person.

    There is no option to create one more backup as the server is not available now.

    Using this only backup file how can i restore.

    Atleast i need to get table structure from this backup file.

    Kindly let me know the way.

    You can't.

    You have one piece of a backup. If three backup destinations are specified (either in script or in the backup database dialog), SQL stripes the backup across all three evenly. Without all three, you cannot restore that database. There's no way around that.

    If you want to restore that, you have to find the other two pieces of the backup.
