Author Restore to new server
Usarian

2006-10-25, 6:03 am

I restored a backup from our main server to a new server. First I copied
that backup file, then executed a script basically Restore with move,
replace (I replaced an empty database I created to test the connection).

It ran for a minute or two, then said successful, but here it is 2 hours
later and the new database is still unavailable and says it's restoring.
The backup file was just shy of 1 GB.

Is this the kind of time frame I should be expecting?

Probably not. What happens if you do a restore databaseName with Recovery?
Does that make the database accessible.
