RE: How to generate report on database restore durations

Thanks Peter. Restoring with norecovery has indeed brought the restore times down, but not to the level I would have expected. Look at this log for example. Restore log line tells that it took 0.196 seconds, yet the total duration is 20 seconds. What could be the reason?

SQL Backup log file 7.3.0.57

-SQL "RESTORE LOG ODHR FROM DISK = 'Z:\WrkFolder\ODHR_Log201305132240.trn' WITH DISCONNECT_EXISTING, NORECOVERY "
