Home Forums SQL Server 2005 Backups Can I restore part of the database to a mapped drive due to disk space issue ? RE: Can I restore part of the database to a mapped drive due to disk space issue ?

  • Using SQL Virtual Restore[/url] may be another option if space is limited. Basically, you can mount live databases from backup sets without actually having to restore the original data and log files.

    SQL BAK Explorer - read SQL Server backup file details without SQL Server.
    Supports backup files created with SQL Server 2005 up to SQL Server 2017.
