As promised in my last post, I’ve updated the automated restore stored procedure to handle error. There are now custom error messages for a database with no full backup files and for databases that have more than one log file. Additionally, I have added code to handle differential backup files.

Once again, I hope you can put this to use.

UPDATE
I’ve modified the proc to change the physical data and log file names if the @sourcedbname and @restoredbname are different. The previous version worked if the @sourcedbname was contained in the physical file names.
