Hi
I want to backup resource database ( hidden database ) in my base machine ( sql server 2005 ) .
I want to restore it with a different name ao that i am able to see the data present in the database .
Pls guide me .
I came across an article in the link : http://www.mssqltips.com/tip.asp?tip=1544 .
I tried doing it that way using the xcopy command but it just copied the mdf and ldf files for me to a different location .
How is it same as the backup ? < as mentioned in the article >
Regards,
Abhishek Dwivedi.

Shut down SQL, take a copy of the mdf and ldf files, restart SQL then attach those copied files as a user database. You cannot take a SQL backup of the system resource DB as it is hidden.
There's not much data in there, far more it's procedures, views, functions and the like.

At what point?
I've done exactly what I told you to do, so I know it does work.

From object explorer, attach database, select the files, give it a new name, click ok.
