Ideas on how to make a restore database faster? We have a huge database and we moved it to a slower drive due to budget constraints. I have the backup on 8 different files to make the backup faster; I am wondering if anybody knows any tricks on how to make
the restore faster. I have played with threadcount but this did not seem to make the restore much faster. I have also heard of instant file initialization. Any other ideas?
Win Server 2008 R2 Ent latest SP
SQL Server 2005 Ent latest SP
Thanks.
