Restoring SQL Server Instances with filestream data fails if the database name is changed or relocated: If the database contains filestream data or files and you rename or relocate the database during the restore, an error message appears and the restore fails. On VSS-based restores, the message is “File <filestreamGroupName> cannot be restored to <originalFilestreamGroupDirectory>. Use WITH MOVE to identify a valid location for the file.”

DNPSS-323 (17196, MSG‑402)

If you use the Copy Database Files to Target Directory feature, restoring database files from VSS-based backups that contain filestream data does not retain folder structure: Restoring a VSS-based backup of a database that contained sub-folders restores all files to the same folder, that is, the directory structure is “flattened.” Because the folder structure of the database is not recreated, a file-activation error appears when you try to access the database.

DNPSS-327 (17200, MSG‑406)

Backup jobs of an AlwaysOn Availability Group fail if the plug-in fails to start on one node, even if there is no data for backup in the node.

If you use the Copy Database Files to Target Directory restore option, it might fail with VSS-related errors if the SQL Server client or server software is not running on the destination server.

If you upgrade to SQL Server 2012 or later, you can create a database by restoring a backup that was created using SQL Server 2008 or later; however, you cannot restore backups of master, model, or msdb.
