I have a DB with 64 GB of logfile. I shrunk the logfile to 20 GB, took a full backup. Backup file is 216 GB. I have 259 GB free space available but when I try to restore the DB, it says I need at least 311 GB to restore this DB. What am I missing here? Why it needs 311 GB and not 211, even if I add 20 GB of log file, that is still 236 GB and not 311. Am I missing something?
