nicholas writes "i have installed sql server connected to a database called scalaDB on a machine and iwant to backup and restore this database on another machine. I have taken the backup called (scalaDB.bak) & the log file to the new machine. But after restoring the backup in on the new machine running the same version of sql, i try starting the database and this message appears on the screen:

connection failed
sql state:08004
server error:4062
server rejected the connection, access to selected database has been denied.

what may be the possible cause?
how could i solve this?
could i get the right procedure for backingup and restoring databases?

The restore was successful but probably the users in the database are mapped to different logins - i.e, the logins have a different id on this server.

Drop all the users using sp_dropuser
or try
sp_change_users_login

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.

What did you do with the log file? When you use backup and restore method, there is nothing to do with the log file. If you want to use the log file, you'll need to have the MDF file. To get that file, you'll need to use detach/attach method.
