I knew I should have checked *.ldf - even though it is a log file, so I thought it was not a database file.
I guess both are considered "database files" because they are needed for the database. Sounds picky, but the URL below makes sense - mdf/ndf files are "data files" and ldf files are "log files". Together they make up "database files."
