    Check that Client Read Timeout on media server is increased to give SQL time to initialize databases before actual restore can be started. Set it to 3 hours (10800) to prevent timeouts.

    Post your restore script and details about the source and destination server.

    Then post dbclient log.

    There is a setting for SQL/windows which makes the SQL server skip the "format" of the files in a restore.

    EDIT

    It called Instant data file initialization, found it in the NBU 7.6 SQL admin guide on page 55
