Error Restoring database larger then 40 GB

  • Hello -

    Everytime I try and restore a database that is over 40GB if get the following error message.

    Msg 3271, Level 16, State 1, Line 2

    A nonrecoverable I/O error occurred on file "???:" 170(The requested resource is in use.).

    Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 2

    RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.

    This is on SQL 2005 SP2 on a Windows 2003 Server Enterprise x64 SP2 VM

    Can someone please advise???

    Regards,

    David

  • Lets start with the basics... is there enough space to accomodate the restore?

  • Assuming there's enough space, is there an anti-virus on the machine? If so, does it have the correct exclusions for all SQL files? (mdf, ldf, ndf, bak, trn)
