I tried to create new DB and then restore on of the agro_db_xxx.bak "from File" with "force restore over exiting" but I am getting an error probably because I have a working data base "agro" or what?

| I'd have to see the command that you used to figure out what the problem is. It could be the path to the files. BTW, do the RESTORE in Query Analyzer:RESTORE DATABASE agroFROM DISK = 'E:\MSSQL\Backup\SomeBackupFile.BAK'WITH REPLACEYou might need to use the WITH MOVE option if the MDF and LDF file need to be relocated. Let me know and I'll help you with that part of the command as well.Tara |
