SQL Server: Database stuck in “Restoring” state

Question

I backed up a database:

BACKUP DATABASE MyDatabase
TO DISK = \'MyDatabase.bak\'
WITH INIT --overwrite existing

And then tried to restore it

Answer 1

I have had this problem when I also recieved a TCP error in the event log...

Drop the DB with sql or right click on it in manager "delete" And restore again.

I have actually started doing this by default. Script the DB drop, recreate and then restore.
