Restore sandbox failed

Posted on by 602

I was trying to restore a backup of my sandbox and it ended in the following error:

"An error occurred while preparing your instance."

Now my sandbox is unavailable. 

Would it work to reset my sandbox and then restore a backup of my production to the sandbox?

Thanks in advance!

    Hi Richard,

    Yes, Microsoft copied our production down to the sandbox.  I did lose some of the development work in the Sandbox, but I was just glad to get the instance back up and running again.

    Good luck!

    Hi Barbara,

    We've run into the same issue today and we've submitted a ticket with Microsoft.

    Did they manage to resolve the issue for you?

    Thanks in advance

    Richard

    Hi Barbara, If your Sandbox is not able to be Reset you will need to log a support incident citing the Sandbox Url in question so an MS engineer will have to reset it for you so you can perform your restore from backup.

    Best Wishes, Raz
