Someone is trying to transfer a database to me via backing it up and then I am restoring it. I am not the person who performed the back-up. The .bak file is only 58 megs and they say they have truncated all tables ect.
When I try and back up the database, I get an error message:
The message has more but it is basically saying I need 48 gigs free space and I only have 35. I only have 35 gigs free, yes, but why should a 58 meg .bak file require 48 gigs of free space?
When I try and back up the database, I get an error message:
Code:
Microsoft SQL-DMO (ODBC SQLState: 42000)
There is insufficient free space on the disk volume...
