can't find database when trying to restore
|
|
|
| Hi I am trying to copy a complete database and did the following.
backup database, saved file at location
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\BACKUP\
database.bak
on machine 1-source machine.
I then copied this to
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\BACKUP\
on machine two-destination machine.
I was thinking I could then use the restore from EM connected to the
destination machine but when I select restore the database name does not show
up as one of the databases that can be selected.
Thanks.

| No it wont show the database in Restore database window. It will shoe only
the current database. Use have to use "From Device" option and select the bak
file from there and type the name of database.
