• How did you split the backup files ?

    Can you post your actual backup statement ?

    If you used

    BACKUP DATABASE AdventureWorks

    TO DISK='X:\SQLServerBackups\AdventureWorks1.bak',

    DISK='Y:\SQLServerBackups\AdventureWorks2.bak',

    DISK='Z:\SQLServerBackups\AdventureWorks3.bak'

    I would try this on a test system

    RESTORE DATABASE MyDatabase

    DISK='X:\SQLServerBackups\AdventureWorks1.bak',

    DISK='Y:\SQLServerBackups\AdventureWorks2.bak',

    DISK='Z:\SQLServerBackups\AdventureWorks3.bak'

    WITH

    NORECOVERY;

    Keep in mind you can zip/7zip/ another compress tool your bak files to minimize copy network overhead.
