Neil writes "I am having a problem restoring a database to the same server that it was backedup from. I am getting the message "The media set for database xxx has 3 family members but only 1 are provided. All members must be provided. Restore database is terminating abnormally.

having look at Microsofts suppot pages I can't see why this error would occur, or what would cause it. The only thing I can think of is that after the original backup was taken the .bak file was zipped with Winzip9 to save space. It was unzipped using Winzip9 before I tried the restore.

Any ideas gratefully received

Regards

Neil"

Run:

RESTORE HEADERONLY FROM DISK = 'file.bak' and see what that tells you.
