Hello,
Is there guideline on how much time should it take to restore X amount of data. I have a database that take less than 5 minutes to backup (total time for all the required filegroups).
The restore time somehow is 25 minutes for the backed up filegroups. Given that backup just took <5 mins, I am wondering if I can bring this restore time to much less to about 10-15 mins max.
I tried instant file initialization feature, does not help much. The restore is happening from a network drive.. But even from local drive the time is about the same. What can be done to bring the restore time down?
Some more info on the amount of data.. Rest of the file groups size is 62 GB. Primary file group is 20 mb.
Thanks!
