Home Forums SQL Server 2005 Backups Restoring a BACKUP FILE to a Database --- Urgently? RE: Restoring a BACKUP FILE to a Database --- Urgently?

  • Let me know this one ---- Suppose my DB gets corrupted(after taking the backup)? For restoring the database which files i required to have? Is the backup file *.bak is only enough to restore or else we also have necessary of .mdf, .ldf files.

    Thank U all,

    You can create a new blank database and restore it from the .bak file you have. you can delete the currepted database and keep the newly created DB.
