- Is the database read-only?Dan Guzman– Dan Guzman2021-02-23 13:03:58 +00:00Commented Feb 23, 2021 at 13:03
- 2 hours restore seems to be too long. Is IFI enabled on the instance?Denis Rubashkin– Denis Rubashkin2021-02-23 13:30:52 +00:00Commented Feb 23, 2021 at 13:30
- 1The database is not read only, it's 2 hours the bak file is absolutely massive with 13 years of data in it (and growing). The restore fails if a log file is missing (as they have to be loaded sequentially) so theoretically we could significantly speed up the process if we could force the database into NORECOVERY mode and restore the latest log/s filesGarthMarenghee– GarthMarenghee2021-02-23 13:50:15 +00:00Commented Feb 23, 2021 at 13:50
- To elaborate on what Dan Guzman wrote, if when you have restored the database you ONLY need to read the data i.e. for reports then you could restore with norecovery and standby which allows read-only access to the database and (once you have disconnected the readonly users) allows you to apply further transaction logs to roll the database further forward in time without the need to restore another full backup.Stephen Morris - Mo64– Stephen Morris - Mo642021-02-23 14:20:09 +00:00Commented Feb 23, 2021 at 14:20

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. sql-server), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
