Copying data belong to only some FileGroups

  • Hello,

    I have a database divided into some filegroups (eg FG1, FG2 and FG3).

    I woluld like to copy to another database with same structure data in FG1 only.

    Is it possible?

    I have tried with RESTORE PARTIAL but it leaves objects belonging to FG2 e 3 offline, and so the database is not usable.

    Is there a way?

     

     

  • I've wanted to achieve the same thing but unfortunately my research lef me to believe this was not possible. File and filegroup backup/restores seem very focused on recovery and not movement of data.

    Please post back though if you find a way to do it.

    sorry can't be more help

  • After lots of researches I found that:

    Here it is written that is not possible to load data from a filegroup to a new empty database:

    I 'll do use DTS o other methods to reach the same goal

     

    thank
