Yiannakis,
   What version of Windows are you running, 2k or 2k3. I have had
problems with restoring databases over 4GB on Win2k. I'm not sure as to
why there is a limitation with this, but I have never been able to get
it to work. It works fine on Win2k3.

Stef,
I don't think it's a timeout problem. The database is relatively small,
18GB
only, and the fact that Q MOUNT shows the tapes are loaded and are in
use
shows that the session is ok.

I'm not sure (I never restored a sql database), but I think the restore
goes
in 2 steps:
1. creating an empty database
2. restoring data
I think 1. is taking a lot of time.  In fact, it's possible that the
session
times out on 1. so you will get an error and you have to start all
over.
