Restore DB Failure

thomascroth

Running SQL Backup v 4.6.0.815
SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition SP4
Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Edition SP1

I use SQL Backup to backup all of my databases. The databases are backed up to a network share. This process works fine, without any problems. I get an error when trying to restore a database. I have even put a copy of the backup file on the local server to eliminate network issues. I have plenty of memory and disk space available. I still get the exact same error.

The SQL Backup service uses the same domain 'sa' account as SQL Server and SQL Server Agent.

When trying to restore, I get the following error:

SQL Backup log file

I see nothing in the SQL Server log files or the Windows Event Viewer. Any assistance would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks!!!

Could you pls convert the sqb file to a native SQL Server backup file, and try restoring that file? E..g

sqlbackup '-sql "CONVERT ''D:\sqlbak\FULL_SERVERPL_mydb_20061220_121549.sqb'' TO ''D:\sqlbak\FULL_SERVERPL_mydb_20061220_121549.bak'' " '
