Question

I have a .bak file of size 20 GB.

The actual size of logical files is ~20GB. But the max size allocated is 300GB.

When I try to restore, I'm getting the size error.
I have 100GB free space on my disk.

Could be please let me know if its possible to change the initial/max size of files in .bak file ?

Thanks in advance.

It sounds like you are saying it is configured to hold or reserve 300GB of free space and yet you only have 100GB free. You need more disk space.

1)Restore headeronly from disk ='E:\backup\ter.bak'
--it will show compatibilty level and software version

2)Restore Filelistonly from disk ='E:\backup\ter.bak'
-- it will show total mdf and ldf file space .if it is showing more space then you have to make it free.

3)Restore verifyonly from disk ='E:\backup\ter.bak'
--check backup is valid

4)Restore Labelonly from disk ='E:\backup\ter.bak'
-- check media related information
