Will restore the sql database from bak
Restoring an SQL database from a .bak file (backup) can be a fairly simple procedure. Here are the steps to follow:
1. Connect to the database server using administrator credentials.
2. Create a new empty database or use an existing one to restore the backup copy.
3. Open the database management software and find the “Restore Database” option.
4. Specify the name of the target database, select it from the list of available ones or create a new name.
5. Select the .bak file as the backup source to restore.
6. Configure the parameters depending on the requirements of your system: specify the location of the physical files (.mdf/.ldf), the type of operation (“WITH REPLACE”, if you want to replace the current data with what was contained in the backup file; or “WITH NORECOVERY” to add data without deleting current ones), integrity check and other details as necessary.
7 We start the recovery process by pressing the "OK" button or a similar element of the user interface of the corresponding tool.
After the database recovery process is complete, you will be able to use it to access the data that was saved in the backup copy.
