Hello -

Everytime I try and restore a database that is over 40GB if get the following error message.

Msg 3271, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
A nonrecoverable I/O error occurred on file "???:" 170(The requested resource is in use.).
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.

This is on SQL 2005 SP2 on a Windows 2003 Server Enterprise x64 SP2 VM

Can someone please advise???

Regards,

David

VM is trying to dynamically move files? Make sure that's disabled.

Do you have enough room to restore the database?

I confirmed with our VM admin that it was disabled and it was. I have 80GB free to restore too. I am at such a lost on why this is happening.

Thanks

Run RESTORE FILELISTONLY and look at the size column. Make sure there's enough disk space. A 40GB backup doesn't mean 40GB database.

Basically that's the scene every time you restore the database. The capacity of the database stands on 40GB input and it can be solved when you comply more information to experts.
