When you are specifying the restore you are telling the system to use multiple files, but the backup file you are specifying is not part of a multi-file (striped) backup.You need to change the restore to process just that backup file.Jeff |

I don't understand your question - how are you specifying the backup file when you do the restore? If you are doing this from the GUI, make sure you only have the one backup file specified. You can also click on the Script button at the top of the windows and generate the code that will be run.If you post that, we can see what it is trying to do and where you have specified multiple files.Jeff |
