Have got to be my favorite article of apparel. It's only easy to throw them away when they don't fit.

Virtual PC and SQL Database Restore

A coworker ran into the problem of not being able to restore a SQL database to a vpc machine. The Name of the backup would read in as "*** INCOMPLETE ***". The backup file was fairly large (about 6GB). A small database restore worked, but not the large file.

Anyways, the exact problem and simple solution to the problem can be found on Stuart Cox's blog:

I need to start structuring posts like Stuart Cox, clearly laying out Problem / Resolution, because that makes things clear to understand.

I just noticed that rob could have replied "definitely for real" and the line lengths would have still been in sync. Rob screwed himself.

On another note, there was a person driving the wrong direction on the wmu engineering campus this morning. Why am I always in the same lane as them? I don't even think it phased me this time that I was in the direct path of a head on collision.

I love star gazing, hot tubs, and bible studies. Monday nights are awesome.
