Hello,

I am getting the rather odd error below; hope you can help.

RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally. File 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft
SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\trial_44testingc' is claimed by
'sysft_KB_SearchAssetsCatalog'(65540) and 'sysft_KB_SearchCatalog'(65537).
The WITH MOVE clause can be used to relocate one or more files.

I get this from an app our company uses to programatically restore
databases. Below are the queries we are using:

Create database trial_44testingc
select COUNT(*) as TOTAL from sysdatabases where name = 'trial_44testingc'
RESTORE FILELISTONLY FROM disk =
'C:\HostedTrialManagement\AppSource\db\43_trialmas ter'
RESTORE DATABASE trial_44testingc FROM disk =
'C:\HostedTrialManagement\AppSource\db\43_trialmas ter' WITH RECOVERY , MOVE
'43_trialmaster' TO 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\trial_44testingc.mdf', MOVE '43_trialmaster_log'
TO 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\trial_44testingc.ldf', MOVE
'sysft_KB_SearchCatalog' TO 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\trial_44testingc', MOVE
'sysft_KB_SearchTicketsCatalog' TO 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\trial_44testingc', MOVE
'sysft_KB_SearchTicketsCatalog2' TO 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\trial_44testingc', MOVE
'sysft_KB_SearchAssetsCatalog' TO 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\trial_44testingc'

This had been working great until I made some updates to the table structure
of the db and created a new backup.

Any ideas?

TIA
Jake

I would not say that this is particularly odd, given:

> 'sysft_KB_SearchCatalog' TO 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL

> 'sysft_KB_SearchTicketsCatalog' TO 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL

> 'sysft_KB_SearchAssetsCatalog' TO 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
> Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\trial_44testingc'

You are trying to place three logical files on the same physical file. That
cannot work out well.

Seems like you need to talk with the person/vendor who wrote the app
that runs your RESTORE commands.
