How can I export a SQL Server database with everything related to it such as Logins/Users to use/import on another server? I think Generate Scripts... might be a good idea but what options should be set to TRUE to backup everything? or is there any other options to achieve this ?
The database backup contains everything that’s defined in that database – all db objects (tables, views, stored procedures etc.), database roles, users, permissions – everything that truly belongs to the database.
Things like logins, SQL Agent jobs etc. however are server-scoped, defined on the server-level and thus aren’t contained in database backups
