How to find out restore progress of the job

Hello,
I was wondering if there is a way to find out restore progress of the
job. If I run restore in QA, I can use STATS option to control restore
progress statistics but this information is not accessible when restore
executed as a part of a job.
Thanks,
Igor
Hi,
You can do it using a batch file and call the batch file inside the SQL
Agent -- Jobs (Command
1. Batch file should be:-
OSQL -Uuser -Ppassword -Sserver -d dbname -Q"backup database pubs to
pubsbak' with init, stats=10 -oc:\backup.log
2. Then schedule the batch using SQL Agent job with type as "Operating
system command".
3. During job you could open the c:\backup.log to get the status
I hope this will work out.. I have not tested this so far Probably you
could test and get back.
Thanks

|||It worked nicely. Thanks a lot, Hari! I have found another way. When
scheduling a job in EM, you can specify Output file in Advanced tab of the
task. Stats progress is being logged into this file.
