Error while restoring a Database : ‘Exclusive access could not be obtained because the database is in use’


Solution :
When we restore the database system should have Exclusive lock.

The error means that some process is using this database,we should kill those process which are using database,

Otherwise use this command :

Use Master
ALTER DATABASE <> SET MULTI_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE;

RESTORE DATABASE <> FROM DISK = ‘C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\BACKUP\YOURDB.bak’
