Hi,
I'm restoring a database on a SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition using a full backup and several log backups. There are a total of 46 files in the database: the primary data file, 44 secondary data files, and 1 log file.
When the restore of the full backup was performed, all files were moved and renamed. I've restored some of the log backups, adding the norecovery option and all the 'move ... to ...' clauses, and the restore completes successfully. However, the progress information
always reports "processed 0 pages of" for all the data files (the log file reports a different number of pages on each restore as expected). I can't bring it online because tomorrow I'll be receiving the last log backups I need to restore before
making the database available to the users.
Is this the expected result when you use the norecovery option? If I had messed up the file "mapping" I guess there would have been an error, but it ended successfully.
Thank you
