i have a database named SAHS in my desktop having sqlserver 2000 installed i want to copy it in my laptop(64bit) having sql server 2008 ..
i tried removing a backup of it..
like this ;
BACKUP DATABASE SAHS
TO DISK = 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\BACKUP\SAHSFullRM.bak'
WITH FORMAT;
GO
can i copy the backup file in my laptop and use the restore statement?.. if yes please show the restore statement im getting error in this :
restore database SAHS
from disk = 'C:...'
saying operating system error.
is there any other simpler way to do so..pls help
i did it myself .Open sqlserver management studio ,from the object explorer expand database column, right click any databse , select task –> restore –> database or Files or Filegroups , restore dialog box opes , write the new name of yor database in To Database , select location and type it in From Device option , select the checkbox , and click on OK ..
ITS DONE .. this is a new feature in sqlserver 2008 ..
