Database Restores

I took some database backups from a client site to do some development.
There were 20G, 16G and 200MB

i ran it through EM but waited for like 20 minutes for the 20G and 16G but nothing happen. Went to Profiler -- there was no activity log for backup/restore events.

went to QA and tried to restore the backup -- with the stats option but still nothing happenned. The 200MB restore worked though. i have restored a databases over 20G but haven't really encountered this problem. Can anyone assist me ? or have come across this problem ?I have to bring 2 or 3 client databases in house a week. Our largest client db is only about 70 gb but here is my restore template. Never fails.

--STEP 1. Create the Database
CREATE DATABASE MyDatabase

--STEP 2. Get the physical file names
sp_helpdb MyDatabase

--STEP 3. Get the logical file names
RESTORE FILELISTONLY
FROM DISK = 'X:\MyBackup.BAK'

--STEP.4 RUN THE RECOVERY
ALTER DATABASE MyDatabase SET RESTRICTED_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE
GO
RESTORE DATABASE MyDatabase
FROM DISK = 'X:\MyBackup.BAK'
WITH REPLACE,RECOVERY,STATS=10,
MOVE 'Logical_Data' TO 'D:\physical.mdf' ,
MOVE 'Logical_Log' TO 'E:\physiical.LDF'
GO
ALTER DATABASE MyDatabase SET MULTI_USER
GO
BACKUP LOG MyDatabase WITH TRUNCATE_ONLY
GO
USE MyDatabase
GO
DBCC SHRINKFILE(Logical_Log,1)
GO
USE MASTER
GO
ALTER DATABASE MyDatabase SET RECOVERY SIMPLE|||That's the sort of thing you should post for reference on sqlkit, Thrasy.|||I know. I am getting some stuff together. Sample code... I have an article started. I will probably start posting this weekend. I am looking forward to some biting criticism. Why don't you post your CSVtoINT thing and don't you have a first name \ last name from one field thing too. I just have a full version release coming plus customer projects by the end of the month and I am woefully behind.|||I have noticed a remarkable delay from issuing the restore command to the first status tick being reported. Esecially on large databases. It could be that SQL Server is verifying the backup before beginning the restore, but that would be a question for Microsoft.
