Restore keeps failing ?

  • I am running the following restore , I need to setup mirroring for this DB

    RESTORE DATABASE [LiveData_Stats] FROM DISK = N'T:\FULL_LiveData_Stats_20100103040008.BAK'

    WITH REPLACE, FILE = 1,

    MOVE N'LiveData_Stats_Data' TO N'R:\SQLDATA\LiveData_Stats.mdf',

    MOVE N'LiveData_Stats_Log' TO N'E:\SQLLOG\LiveData_Stats2_Log.LDF',

    MOVE N'LiveData_Stats_Indexes' TO N'Q:\SQLDATA\LiveData_Stats2_Indexes.ndf',

    MOVE N'LiveData_Stats_STORE1' TO N'P:\SQLData\LiveData_Stats2_STORE1.ndf',

    MOVE N'LiveData_Stats_Primary2' TO N'R:\Sqldata\LiveData_Stats2_Primary2.ndf',

    MOVE N'StatsArchive' TO N'M:\SQLDATA\StatsArchive.ndf',

    NORECOVERY, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10

    T:\drive is a SAN attached drive

    I keep getting the following error after 90 percent completion:

    Msg 3203, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

    Read on "T:\FULL_LiveData_Stats_20100103040008.BAK" failed: 13(failed to retrieve text for this error. Reason: 15105)

    Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

    RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.

    I have googled this but found no joy.Anyone seen this before

    Cheers

  • First question, are you trying to restore from a file on a shared (network drive) or from a local drive?

    If from a network share, if you have room locally on the server you may want to try copying the file to a local drive and retry the restore from there.

    Edit: Ignore the above. I missed the part about the SAN.

  • The file is 228GB and cant be copied locally

  • Your backup is damaged or there's an IO problem with the SAN. You can try to use CONTINUE_AFTER_ERROR, but do note that if you do so, some of the database may be missing. If you're trying to set up mirroring, I would strongly suggest you don't do that.

    Can you get another backup?

    Also, ask the SAN admin to do some checks of the SAN, make sure there's no problems.
