Automatically Restores All database .BAK Files
Tired of manually restoration of backup files? then this script is for you. This is an easy way to restore your ".BAK" files. Your .mdf and .ldf will be restore in the same path/directory where it first resides (upon execution of the backup). The time consumed depends on how many your databases are and the sizes of the mdf and ldf files. Upon restoration, you can change the path/directory of the .mdf and .ldf. Before running the script please read carefully the comments written in the script so that you can attain a 100% error free execution
