The problem is with the full text catalog that is part of the backup.
Here's the T-SQL I'm executing, and the error I receive:
T-SQL:
RESTORE DATABASE New_DB
FROM DISK = 'C:\backup\Old_DB.bak'
WITH RECOVERY, REPLACE,
MOVE 'Old_DB' TO 'C:\SQLData\New_DB.mdf',
MOVE 'Old_DB_log' TO 'C:\SQLData\New_DB_log.ldf'
Error:
Msg 1834, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The file 'C:\SQLData\FTData\ftKeyWords0007' cannot be overwritten. It is being used by database 'Old_DB'.
Msg 3156, Level 16, State 4, Line 1
File 'sysft_ftKeyWords' cannot be restored to 'C:\SQLData\FTData\ftKeyWords0007'. Use WITH MOVE to identify a valid location for the file.
Msg 3119, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Problems were identified while planning for the RESTORE statement. Previous messages provide details.
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
Not sure what to do about this, any help would be greatly appreciated!
Before, disabled FullText indexes for a old_db and repeat your command.|||You mean turn off the full text index before running the backup?
Yes, that would work, but that may not be feasible. I'd hate to have a job running that backs up a db hourly, and has to regenerate ft indexes every single time for obvious reasons.
This problem makes restoring backups that include full text indexes to a new restore point extremely frustrating, and it really shouldn't be.
