MOVE TO TO edit the two constants at the top of the script, to specify the database name to restore to (whether or not it already exists), and the full path to the backup file you wish to restore.

(Obviously you'd either set environment variables DatatbaseName, DestinationFold, and backupFile. This may not serve your needs exactly, but I thought it might be useful for others searching on this issue. WITH FILE = 1, NOUNLOAD, REPLACE, STATS = 10 RESTORE DATABASE įROM DISK = N'%DestinationFolder%\%backupFile%' The "Replace" causes it to over-write the existing files, so I don't need to specify them. Here's what I use (in a batch file) to restore a specific already-existing database from backup. MOVE N'LogFile' TO N'C:\Folder\MyDB_Logs.ldf' -<- should be a valid path MOVE N'PrimaryFile' TO N'C:\Folder\MyDB.mdf', -<- should be a valid path Use these file names and write the restore command like this. This will return all the files for that database in that backup. WITH FILE = 1 -<- this will be the position of the backup from headerOnly restore Get the position of that file and doįILELISTONLY RESTORE RESTORE FILELISTONLY
You should be looking for database MyDb with Backup type = 1. This will give the list of backups in this backup file. Therefore you need to check the content of this file by doing two types of restores before you can actually resotre a database from this backup. Nothing really in addition to the above, except, once you have these databases back, please set up a proper backup and recovery plan, which should include periodically testing that you can restore your databases - the fact that a backup was successful is not enough to ensure you won't be doing this again.You need to know whats in this backup file.
An Attach Databases wizard open, click on Add button as shown in the screenshot. After that, you need to right-click on Database and opt for Attach from the menu. So you may need master and msdb in order to recover some of that information (but I would attach it as a user database ( msdb_copy), rather than replacing msdb, and try to restore master on a throwaway instance - see this thread for possible ideas here, but I would not be confident you'll get that info back). Once it is opened, go to Object Explorer section. If you're trying to restore full functionality out of the gate, then your attached database above will not include server-level logins, jobs, etc. Do we need to have any mdfs from the system databases?.ON (filename = 'c:\temp\backup_of_mdf.mdf') It is very common for this to fail, because the log file gets damaged from this type of event (see this post for reasons we don't rely on mdf/ldf files as backups), so then you can try: CREATE DATABASE restored_copy_of_db_name ON (filename = 'c:\temp\backup_of_mdf.mdf'), Yes, you can try to attach them, probably just try to attach using: CREATE DATABASE restored_copy_of_db_name Is this possible to restore a particular database using corresponding mdf and ldf files? When you select the file there is a spot where you can change the name you want the database to have when attached: After attaching in the example above the database will be named 'WhateverYouWant'.
