Unable restore a backup file.

  • Hi.

    In one of my client place where SQL 7.0 is installed, we're unable to restore a backup file. When we right click the database and select restore, the 'options' tab doesn't show the filenames. Also in properties, we are unable to the tab 'Data Files'.

    Please help how to solve this. Operating system of server is 2000.

    Bharat.

     

     

     

  • How many files do you have associated with the database

    In case you are not able to restore from the GUI.  Why dont u consider the option of

    Restore database

  • Thanks for the reply. However what i don't understand is how the tabs are not shown ? Can you give me the command for restore ? From where it is executed ?

  • First run

    RESTORE HEADERONLY FROM DISK = N'c:\myBackup.bak'

    just fill in the backup path.

    This will give you information about what backup sets there are in this backup file, whether they are damaged, the version of the server that has created them, etc.
