Hi I am looking to restore ad full and diff using this script:
RESTORE DATABASE LSS
FROM DISK = 'F:\For restore\Lss_backup_2013_10_13_000010_4544977\Lss_backup_2013_10_13_000010_4544977.bak'
WITH NORECOVERY
GO
-- Now restore the differential database backup, the second backup on
-- the MyAdvWorks_1 backup device.
RESTORE DATABASE LSS
FROM DISK = 'F:\For restore\Lss_backup_2013_10_13_000010_4544977\Lss_backup_2013_10_18_000012_9335308.dif'
WITH FILE = 2,
WITH RECOVERY
But MSSQL comes back with this kind of error (don't have exact output to hand):
Cannot find file ID 2 on device 'F:\For restore\Lss_backup_2013_10_13_000010_4544977\Lss_backup_2013_10_18_000012_9335308.dif'
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
RESTORE LOG is terminating abnormally.
The only reasons I could attribute to this in our setup is that the backup from source system is an 2k8r2 sp2 server whereas the destination of the restore is 2k8 but not on sp2 yet, or that winrar (which i used to split the larger full backup for transport) has somehow broken the full file so it doesn't see the dif (dif was not zipped). Yet the full seems ok restoring....
Or...that someone may have run a full between the full and dif files I am using and therefore broken the LSN chain? Yet to check this but the error to me does not make sense against this scenario....
Anyone help....or seen this before?
O and yes the file definatley exists!!!!

Hi ben, 😀
select your msdb.dbo.backupset table to see what are your available backup sets.

Are you absolutely sure it's file #2? SQL verifies a file before restoring it.
Check the backup file contents just to be sure:
RESTORE FILELISTONLY
FROM DISK = 'F:\For restore\Lss_backup_2013_10_13_000010_4544977\Lss_backup_2013_10_18_000012_9335308.dif'
Edit: Corrected backup file name.

Hi Jonathan, I am restoring on a different server so I presume that wouldn't apply??
