Hi All,

We are doing restoring in a different data center and keep sending log backups and restore from there.

Recently we want to bring a new volume to the sql server and move all databases to the new volume, then the problem comes, I did a test that I cannot simply change the drive letter, i.e. old disk letter x, new disk letter y, then I turn off all sql instances and move all databases(restoring status) to disk y, then get rid off disk x, resign x to disk y, so now new disk has old letter x now. then I continue the restore log against latest log backup, it returns the error.

Msg 3446, Level 16, State 2, Line 4
Primary log file is not available for database 'TestDB' (7:0).  The log cannot be backed up.
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 4
RESTORE LOG is terminating abnormally.

Is there a way to do this? or SQL Server doesn't support this change.

Thanks,

Albert
