Can''t Restore Bakup of size 3.97GB

  • Dear All,

    I am facing problem of restoring a db of size 3.97GB. there is enough space in the drive around 8 GB but i am getting a message of not enough space.

    Please Help me

  • Maybe the trans.log file (the original one) is to big?

  • If you post the exact error maybe we can help.

  • Run this and see what the file sizes are.

    RESTORE FILELISTONLY

    FROM DISK = 'backupFilePathAndName'

    If the combined file size of all the files in the backup exceed the amount of free space, you won't be able to restore.  Note that the size of the backup file is totally irrelevant here.
