However, the restore always reverts the configuration for the new database back to a single file. What is the trick to make this work? Example: CREATE DATABASE [Test] ON PRIMARY ( NAME = N'Test_data1', FILENAME = N'D:\Test_data1.mdf' , SIZE = 2048KB , FILEGROWTH = 10%), ( NAME = N'Test_data2', FILENAME = N'D:\Test_data2.ndf' , SIZE = 2048KB , FILEGROWTH = 10%), LOG ON ( NAME = N'Test_log', FILENAME = N'D:\Test_log.ldf' , SIZE = 1024KB , FILEGROWTH = 10%) GO RESTORE DATABASE [Test] FROM DISK = N'D:\Test.bak' WITH RECOVERY, FILE = 1, MOVE N'Test_data' TO N'D:\Test_data1.mdf', MOVE N'Test_dog' TO N'D:\Test_log.ldf' , NOUNLOAD, REPLACE, STATS = 10 GO The restore ends up deleting the Test_data2.ndf file and I am left with a database with only one data file. Thank you, Bradley Hello Pinal,

I have a backup from a database with a single data file in the primary filegroup and would like to restore it to a database with multiple files in the primary filegroup. However, the restore always reverts the configuration for the new database back to a single file. What is the trick to make this work?

Example:

CREATE DATABASE [Test] ON PRIMARY

( NAME = N’Test_data2′, FILENAME = N’D:\Test_data2.ndf’ , SIZE = 2048KB , FILEGROWTH = 10%),
LOG ON
( NAME = N’Test_log’, FILENAME = N’D:\Test_log.ldf’ , SIZE = 1024KB , FILEGROWTH = 10%)
GO

RESTORE DATABASE [Test]
FROM DISK = N’D:\Test.bak’ WITH RECOVERY, FILE = 1,
MOVE N’Test_data’ TO N’D:\Test_data1.mdf’,
MOVE N’Test_dog’ TO N’D:\Test_log.ldf’
, NOUNLOAD, REPLACE, STATS = 10
GO

The restore ends up deleting the Test_data2.ndf file and I am left with a database with only one data file.

Thank you, Bradley
