-> I had to restore a database of size 26 TB in my Development server. This database had 2 filegroups namely PRIMARY and BLOB. Primary Filegroup has tables of size 3 TB and BLOB filegroup has tables of size 23 TB.
-> My requirement for this restore was to just restore PRIMARY filegroup and not BLOB filegroup.
-> Below TSQL can be used to restore PRIMARY Filegroup only from the full database backup.
USE [master]
RESTORE DATABASE [JB_DB] FILEGROUP='PRIMARY'
FROM DISK = N'C:\DB\JB_DB_01of06.bak',
DISK = N'C:\DB\JB_DB_02of06.bak',
DISK = N'C:\DB\JB_DB_03of06.bak',
DISK = N'C:\DB\JB_DB_04of06.bak',
DISK = N'C:\DB\JB_DB_05of06.bak',
DISK = N'C:\DB\JB_DB_06of06.bak'
WITH PARTIAL, RECOVERY, FILE = 1, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 1, REPLACE
GO
Thank You,
