The operation cannot be performed on a database with database snapshots or active DBCC replicas

Background of the issue. There is a script stored procedure for both backup and restore is running on one of the server.

I have got this from one of our customer. I have checked the restore and looks like there was a database snapshot been created that was a part of backup stored procedure.

Msg 5094, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
The operation cannot be performed on a database with database snapshots or active DBCC replicas.
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.

Solution:

Drop the database snapshot and restore the database.

Drop database <Snapshot DB Name>

T-SQL to find the database snapshot details:

SELECT * 
FROM sys.databases
WHERE source_database_id IS NOT NULL
