SYMPTOMS
When you try to restore the SharePoint Portal Server data from backup, you may receive the following error message:

Error: An error occurred during restore. See the event log for more details.

ErrNo: 80040D97

Desc: Automation error

Source: MSDMBack



CAUSE
This problem may occur if the SharePoint Portal Server data has been relocated from the default path, and the drive that contains the default path does not have sufficient free disk space for the restoration. The problem occurs because the SharePoint Portal Server restoration tries to restore all the server data and log files to the SharePoint Portal Server default path. The drive that contains the default path may not have sufficient disk space to restore the data.
