Backup restore from 2 different server

  • Hello,

    I am pretty new to SQL, please dont be too hard on me :w00t:

    I am frequently taking a backup of production database (on a production Domain) and restore them on a DEV sql server (on a DEV domain).

    Every time i need to get user, right and roles of each user to restore it correctly.

    There must be a way to extract all current user,right,roles from a specific database, backup a bd from a domain, restore it to a new server, delete all user that follow the backup and restore the user,right,role to the newly restored BD???

    I am not really a DBA, but I am taking slowly the management of the SQL's

    Thank you very much for your help.

  • For one time you can use sp_helprevlogin to sync all logins on the source to destination. After restoring the database on the destination instance, sp_change_users_login can be used to fix orphaned users if any.

    you can also go for a kind of automation where you can use a script which will handle restore and orphan user fix. For script : Google it 🙂
