Restoring Database issue

  • Hi all,

    I am restoring Database from one server to another server.following error is getting "not enough storage is available to process this command"

  • Check the free drive space. It looks like on the other server there is less free drive space than the size of the database file.

  • there is 100gb free space on other server..

  • What is the db size?

    M&M

  • 200 gb

  • Sheesh 😀

    200 gb

    You cannot restore a 200GB database, if free drive space is only 100GB.

  • Hard disk size is 300gb free space is 100gb,already the database is there we are just replacing that database.

  • How are you restoring the database (GUI, T-SQL, third party), what command is being issued to do the restore, and what is the exact error message that you get?

    Thanks

    You might need to drop the existing database and then try restore.

    1.right click on the databases and select restore database.

    2.To database is ur existing database name.

    4. find ur .bak file and then select the checkbox below to restore button.

    5.In ur left pane click on options and select overwrite existing database check box.

    6.Restore database by selecting radio button with recovery .

  • We are restoring through Sql Job.when i am restoring from query analyzer database is restored.

  • Naresh,

    Check if restarting the SQL Server instance before restoring the database helps.
