Restoring backup

  • Hi,

    Actually, i have added this restoration as a job to be done everyday. I put it as :-

    restore database <database name> from disk= <filename>'.

    But a few questions come into my mind, :-

    is this a force restoration? What are the things I should add in to make this a force restoration?

    If there are still users in the database, how can I automate the killing process?

    Usually, how do people have a automate restoration to be done everyday on another server.

    Do advise me. Thank you and best regards.

  • I have a stored proc that goes out and kills all connections to that database. When I did this I was new to SQL and now I would just set the database to single_user with rollback immediate. Following that you should be able to execute your restore, and once complete set the DB back to multi_user.

    I have a couple databases that I do this with nightly and have had no problems.

    Hope this helps.
