                We are trying to restore some data from our snapshot going back to October 2023.

We have built a local site (2022R20 in trial mode and started to import a snapshot.

While the snapshot was being imported, I got the below displayed error.

Any idea what might cause this problem?

Hi @manikantad18 

I ran the process to optimize the data base. At the end of the process, the same error happened when I tried to import the snapshot.

I bypassed the error by taking the named file (FSServiceContract) out of the snapshot zip file. 

The import ran to completion and the restore snapshot worked as well.

Hi @kevinheng21 

This issue happens when there is no space to Import the data.

Please do the following activities

.       1. Optimize database

  1. reset caches
  2. make sure you have enough space
  3. restart the application
  4. reimport the snapshot
