i am trying to do a restore to a database from a file .bak which is located to a different server

  •  

    hello friends, you know i am trying to do a restore to a database from a file .bak which is located to a different server , that is visible in my local net, my problem that the path from the external server is not visible in the window of enterprise manager to do the restore from .bak, only it shows the local directory c:/, is posible to search some path of a file of my local net using the enterprise manager?

    thank you for read me, sorry my bad english

  • you won't be able to do this via EM - use the unc to restore over the network..

    restore database dbName
    from disk = '\\serverName\shareName\dbBackup.bak'

  • Sorry my ignorance what is unc?

    do you refer to the query analizer ? to do it using tsql?  thanks...........

  • yes - do this in query analyzer using the t-sql statement "restore database etc....."

    unc stands for "uniform naming convention" and provides a unique address on a local network..
