    hi ,

    i have a backup file which is taken from 32-bit operating system, 32- sql server 2008, now i want to retore the same to sql server 2008 but the operating system is 64-bit, (win 7 in both cases.).

    but while restoring it is giving me error like invalid headers.

    so can anyone tell whether can i meet my requirement (i.e restoring in 64-bit OS). if so what is the procedure.

    thanks,

    Satish.

    There isn't any extra steps required to restore a database created on a 32-bit SQL Server to a 64-bit SQL Server. Could you please post the entire result of your restore attempt?

    Thanks.

    SQL BAK Explorer - read SQL Server backup file details without SQL Server.
    Supports backup files created with SQL Server 2005 up to SQL Server 2017.

    First try to restore your backup on 32 bit OS only.It may be possible that the backup is curropt.
