Restoring Data across different servers

  • Hi Guys

    I have a backup on one of my servers. I want to restore the backup on a database on a different server without copying the backup to the server that I'm doing the restore on. I know I have to do this in a SQL job.

    Can anyone help me with this.

    Regards

    When i face this satuation i would take care that second server can access the first one i.e, where .bak file is stored. And i would put that location in restore statement in QA .

    im not sure about the job you are talkin about.

    ignore this if its not your call.

     

  • Thanks, but my problem was solved a long time ago.

    This was the solution to the problem

    RESTORE DATABASE [DatabaseName]

    FROM  DISK = N'\\[ServerName where backup is saved]\MSSQL\Backups\Folder\Backup.bak'

    with REPLACE , 

    MOVE N'Data File' TO N'I:\MSSQL\data\Data.mdf', 

    MOVE N'Log File' TO N'K:\MSSQL1\log\log.ldf'
