RE: Using 'master..sqlbackup' to do virtual restore

There should be no need to call the SQL Backup extended stored procedure because the Hyperbac service should be able to handle .sqb extension of SQL Backup.

The only difference would be that multi-threaded SQL Backup backups are handled by repeating the DISK parameter in the RESTORE command, once for each thread used during the backup process.

Here is an example for a .sqb file with a thread count of 3

RESTORE DATABASE [WidgetProduction_Virtual] FROM
DISK=N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.SQL2008R2\MSSQL\Backup\FULL_SQL2008R2_WidgetProduction_20120430_133003.sqb',
DISK=N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.SQL2008R2\MSSQL\Backup\FULL_SQL2008R2_WidgetProduction_20120430_133003.sqb',
DISK=N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.SQL2008R2\MSSQL\Backup\FULL_SQL2008R2_WidgetProduction_20120430_133003.sqb'
WITH MOVE N'WidgetProduction' TO N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.SQL2008R2\MSSQL\Data\WidgetProduction_WidgetProduction_Virtual.vmdf',
MOVE N'WidgetProduction_log' TO N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.SQL2008R2\MSSQL\Data\WidgetProduction_log_WidgetProduction_Virtual.vldf',
NORECOVERY, STATS=1
GO
RESTORE DATABASE [WidgetProduction_Virtual] WITH RECOVERY
