Interrupted Backup and Restore Operations
If a backup or restore operation is interrupted (for example, due to a power loss on the server), it is possible to restart the backup or restore operation from the point it was interrupted. This can be useful if large databases are restored onto other servers as an automated process. If the automated process fails near the end of the restore operation (if, for example, there is a power failure), a system administrator can restart the restore operation from where it left off, rather than restoring the entire database from the beginning.
