Slowdown in SQL Restore on SQL Server 2000

SQL Server Ask the Experts — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 16:34:33 +0000

We are running SQL Server 2000 on Windows 2000 Server SP4, and our SQL Restore takes at least 10 minutes to launch in Enterprise Manager. We had to roll back after an upgrade, and we find that when selecting “Restore Database”, Enterprise Manager runs remarkably slow.

I’m sure we could run the restore through a script, but I’d like to see what causes the Restore Wizard to hang when launching. Any ideas?

SQL Restore takes 6-10 minutes to come up in Enterprise Manager

SQL Restore takes 6-10 minutes to come up in Enterprise Manager. We have a customer with hundreds of sites, and all their servers do the same thing. We had to roll back after an upgrade and we find that when just selecting “Restore Database” it will seem like Enterprise Manager is hung, but eventually it will finish. Has anyone else seen this, and is there a fix? I’m sure we could run the restore through a script, but I’d like to see what causes the Restore Wizard to hang when launching. This is on SQL 2000, Windows 2000 Server SP4. Server is Intel Xeon 2.8 Ghz with 4gb RAM and free space appears fine.

Backup/Restore a DB from Microsoft SQL Enterprise Manager to SQL Server Management Studio Express

Hi
Is it possible to copy a DB from a server that has a genuin SQL Enterprise Manager to a server that has SQL Server Management Studio Express installed? Both servers are on the same net. I get following error when trying: Restore failed for Server ‘PROGTST\SQLEXPRESS’. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Express.Smo)
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: The backup set holds a backup of a database other than the existing ‘SpiraTest’ database.
