    I have a 141GB database that takes 00:31:05 to backup and and 01:31:27 to restore. I don't know if the 3:1 ratio exists elsewhere but, as you can see, it takes this particular database substantially longer to restore than it does to back-up.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
