• Yes, Extemely informative article.

    I just hope that i had a quick way to restore my 3 backups in a single go (master, model and msdb) with something like Sqlservr.exe –T3608 if I could just get them to point recovery to my backups.

    Alternatively if i could just generate the mdf and ldf from those 3 backups then I could just chuck them into the folder and try to restart the db?

    I unfortunately do not have the actual mdf and ldf files for master. I just have the backups of those three.

    Also, if I understand correctly the article says that it will rebuild the database(something like blank db) using SETUP.EXE and then we will need to restore the three databases(master,model and msdb) from the backups. right?
