When restoring a full DB backup to a different SQL Server 2005 Express server, I receive the following message:
The file or filegroup ‘mydatabase_log’ cannot be selected for this operation. RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 3219)
I’ve checked the restore options to make sure that filenames are valid locations for it to restore to.
Any suggestions?
I fixed it by using Restore Database instead of Restore Files
