Hey All,
Heres an interesting one (and something RedGate support themselves dont know how to do).
We have HyperBac in prod and dev, thing is we do multiple restores a day from env to env and so use the gui a lot. By default SQL looks for files of type .bak and .trn (unless you choose 'all files' from the drop down).
So my question is how do i get SQL to look for .hbc files as well? I dont really want to register the .bak and .trn with HyperBac as i want to maintain those as protected native backup extensions.
Seems logical there must be a way. Anyone know? The version is 2005 + SP3 (some standard some enterprise and a mixture of 64 and 32-bit).
Thanks in advance,
Adam.

This seems to be hardwired in Management Studio (all versions), there does not seem to be anywhere (even a registry hack) to alter this. Which seems strange as people use a myriad of file extensions for their backups (.DMP, .BKF, etc) not just .BAK and .TRN, so some programability/customability seems to be warranted here, maybe a suggestion for MS

Thanks for your response. Cant believe this has never been sorted. Anyone come across this before?
