That is exactly what happened and then the restoring never went away and I was locked out from doing anything to the database. In the future, I will do restores with the Operational selection.
Do you know if there are any other ways to stop the restore if it seems frozen? I understand it may only restore portions of the database if I do this. I stopped the SQL Backup Agent and restarted it, but that didn't stop it. / comments

Yes, that is correct. What is quirky about this all is that Red Gate says the restore is complete. I also noticed that it did not allow me any way to break the restore process (I was trying just ot get into my database at this point). I did try to stop the SQL Backup Agent, but it didn't work.
What I ended up doing was:
- Wait a few hours
- Verify it still showed restoring next to the db name in Red Gate and Management Studio
- I then did a differential restore which did the restore once again, but opened my database immediately
This is really all the information I have to go off of. Is there a better way to handle this in the future? I already plan on creating a secondary backup process. / comments

I have the same issue where it is locking up, but shows the restore already being completed. However, with my issue, I cannot get the restore to stop altogether. This is a very small restore I am working with (4MB).
I closed management studio and stopped and started the SQL Backup Agent (twice). Red Gate and my server still show the database is being restored.
Any thoughts on what I should do? / comments
