Dear all,

I meet a problem on restore database to SQL server

ERP System: SAP R/3
OS: MS Windows2003 Enterprise
SQL Server: Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.2040 (Intel X86)

Symptom:
When I restored the database from a bak file, an error message appeared:
Title = Microsoft SQL-DMO (ODBC SQLState: 42000)
Content = Device active error. The physical file name 'f:\PRDDATA1\PRDDATA1.mdf' may be incorrect.

Detail Description:
1. I have checked the SQL server version, the version of "the database was restored to" and "the database was backup from" are same.
2. I have tried to setup the SAP R/3 to another server, and restored the backup to it. It works. But when I restored the database to this already restored database again. This error message appeared again.

Remark: The backup file does NOT corrupt; And both version of database restore to and backup from are same.

How to solve my problem?

Regards,
Brian

Does the folder exist?
Do you need to use the move option with the restore?

==========================================
Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.

Can you post your restore script?
