Try replacing the MyDB2 rather than just restoring to it. As it exists there could be a taillog that would need to be offloaded first. The other option is to take a log backup of MyDB2 before you try...

Chris, Thank for your tip. I had tried replacing the db earlier, using Code:EXECUTE master..sqlbackup '-SQL "RESTORE DATABASE [MyDB2] FROM DISK = N'... ' WITH REPLACE, MOVE N'MyDB_Data' TO N'...', MOVE...

Try running a log backup on MyDB2 before you try the restore. Chris

Just a thought. If MyDB2 seems recovered then run DBCC CHECKDB with PHYSICAL_ONLY then try using the GUI to take a LOG backup to see that you have the permissions correct. Chris

DBCC ran fine and was able to backup the log..

Now try the restore again using the GUI. These should all be running with the account that runs SQLBackup so it doesn't look like a permissions issue. I am leaving now so I look forward to reading this...

I suggest you restore all settings,and use by default.
View ArticleRE: Error trying to Restore DB & Move files with NORECOVERY
Glad you managed to get it to work. Since SQL2005 if you have either Full or Bulk-Logged recovery model you need to run a Tail-log backup unless you use SQLBackup to force over an existing database. Chris

Is it possible that the differential backup requires a different full backup, and not the one you restored?
