Hello,

I created an .BAK file of a database on a remote MS-SQL server and copied it via ftp to my disk. I created the same database on my local MSDE server and now need to fill the database with data. I tried restoring the database, but the backup file won't show in the list of backups and I cannot browse the disk. I also tried importing the data, but couldnot find proper datasource which would allow me to use .BAK file. How can I solve this problem?

Any hints will be greatly appreciated.

>> I cannot browse the disk
If You are trying to restore the database using EM (Enterprise Manager)
Choose "From Device" radiobutton, -> "Select Device" button -> "Add" button -> File name -> ...

You really should read up on the BACKUP and RESTORE commands in BOL.
