resstore database

  • I have a .BAK file on my desktop. I created a new database. I need to restore it from the .BAK file on my desktop. When I right click the new database in SQL Server Enterprise Manager and seelct properties where do I get the path to correct the Data File and Transaction Log location? :crazy:

    You dont really need to create a database. In SSMS, right click on databases -> tasks -> restore

    You'll get a window. Click on restore from device. Click on ADD, select your backup file here and check it. You'll get properties to locate your data and log file.
