Hi experts!
I am using SQL Server 2005. while restoring a database. I got following error:

"
An exception occured while executing a Transct-SQL statement or batch.
(Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)
Additional Information:
Too many backup devices specified for backup or restore; only 64 are allowed.
RESTORE HEADERONLY is terminating abnormally. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error:3205 )
"

Please guide me to resolve this problem.
Thanks

I restored the database CRF by following steps:
SQL Server Management Studio -> Right Click on CRF (Database Name)
-> Tasks -> Restore -> Files and File Groups

Why choose Files and File Groups when you want to restore db?

You can use Files and File Groups if there is an individual file (for example ) to restore.
Is the current format .BAK?
