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.
