| I'm assuming you are trying to restore from the GUI . Could try and do a RESTORE using T-SQL such as :RESTORE DATABASE MyDatabase FROM DISK = N'C:\mydb.bak' ?Are you able to restore?Is the version of the database you are trying to restore from the current or earlier versions?Jack Vamvas--------------------http://www.sqlserver-dba.com |
