| It depends on how you saved the backup. If it’s just the files themselves, you’ll have to import them into a database program that can import from SQL Server 2000. If not, you’ll need a database that can read the format you saved in. |
| 7) How To Restore Backup Database Into Sql Server 2000.? |
| I have try my best to install the backup database into sql 2000 but the problem happen at move to physical. That the data mdf and ldf is error. How to make it at the correct path? |
| SQL Server is picky like that.
Right click the DB, select restore. Then pick the backup file choice and pick the file. Change to the other tab, there is a checkbox for forcing the restore. It will also show you the name and path for the MDF and LDF files. Just make sure it has the new name and path because these are prefilled based on the contents of the backup file itself. That’s all you need to do. |

| You can use the Attach commands to accomplish this.
From Microsoft SQL Server Books Online: In Microsoft® SQL Server⢠2000, the data and transaction log files of a database can be detached and then reattached to another server, or even to the same server. Detaching a database removes the database from SQL Server but leaves the database intact within the data and transaction log files that compose the database. These data and transaction log files can then be used to attach the database to any instance of SQL Server, including the server from which the database was detached. This makes the database available in exactly the same state it was in when it was detached. Detaching and attaching databases is useful if you want to move a database: From one computer to another without having to re-create the database and then restore the database backup manually. To a different physical disk, for example, when the disk containing the database file has run out of disk space and you want to expand the existing file rather than add a new file to the database on the other disk. Detach the database. Move the database file(s) to the other server or disk. Attach the database specifying the new location of the moved file(s). If you attach a database to a server other than the server from which the database was detached, and the detached database was enabled for replication, you should run sp_removedbreplication to remove replication from the database. Alternatively, you can remove replication from the database prior to detaching it. Errors produced while detaching a database may prevent both the database from closing cleanly and the transaction log from being rebuilt. If you receive an error message, perform these corrective actions: Reattach all files associated with the database, not just the primary file. Resolve the problem that caused the error message. Detach the database again. |
