Kruz writes "I have a backup of sql server database which is over 50gb when I try to copy this file from a usb hard drive to a server it copies half of the file then it freezes the whole server and have to reboot.

I have tried to restore the database straight from Usb Drive and it wouldn't restore.

Please help!"

I had something simuliar once but from a removable drive. Ended up being a bad backup. Can you restore on a test machine ok? Try loading a copy of SQL on another PC and doing the restore. If the same thing happens there, then you probably have a bad backup.
