that has never had the database on it?
We lost a development server and reinstalled SQL Server I
have user database backups but no system database
backups. When I attempt a restore I cannot see the .bak
file that I would like to restore. I thought that I
could create a new database with the same name and then
restore the .bak to get the database back. is this an
incorrect procedure?When you restore, choose "From Device" and locate the bak
file.

Yes.
restore
because it (the backup) was recorded on the original server.
You can restore with or without the database created first. Look for
RESTORE DATABASE in BOL.

Thanks for posting in the Newsgroup. Assuming the database you want to
restore your "c:\db.bak" file into a database named "newdb" and you are
using SQL Server 2000
You could try to restore it with SQL Server Enterprise Manager by following
steps
1. Open SQL Server Enterprise Manager and select the instance and "newdb"
2. Right Click "newdb" -> All Tasks -> Restore database
3. Select "From device" in General Tab
4. Click Select Devices_
5. Add the file you want in the pop dialog
6. Click OK and you will see Restore Process Dialog and then you will be
notified that you have successfully restored your database.
Also, you could try to restore it with Query Analyzer by following steps:
1. Open Query Analyzer, Login as sa (or whatever have RESTORE privilege)
2. type the T-SQL
RESTORE DATABASE newdb from disk='c:\db.bak'
3. you will get the result like
RESTORE DATABASE successfully processed 113 pages in 0.370 seconds (2.485
MB/sec).
Bottom line - have a good backup strategy.
Please feel free to post in the group if this solves your problem or if you
would like further help. We are here to be of assistance!

server. It's done frequently. You still need to be aware of
anything configured or setup on the source server and issues
you could run into related to this. Examples of some things
to watch out for would be users in the database that don't
exist on the destination server, using linked servers,
cross-database stored procedures, etc.

Thank you for using MSDN Newsgroup!
It is highly appreciated that you should post your own questions as a new
thread, which, I believe, will get us closer and quicker to the resolutions
In general, we need not do anything with other databases such as msdb,
master etc. However, I am not sure your detailed requirements. You are
welcome to raise your issue to the newsgroup by a new post
Thank you for your patience and cooperation.
Sincerely yours,
