• No option. You can't do it. Physically it will take time to read the backup file and rewrite the disk. If you haven't pre-built the log file, that has to be zero'd out. If you don't have IFI enabled, the data file also has to be zero'd out. Both take time.

    I don't know what your I/O subsystem can do, but 14TB is substantial. At the very least, I'd build a cheap, whitebox system that had consumer level drives of 16-20TB. That could probably be done for $2-3k these days and it would get you running quickly if you had some sort of log shipping enabled.

    thanks Steve for the reply and suggestion. Just one doubt, can we consider "restoring with partial option" ?
