I have been struggling to import my .bak files into my sql server database. I have contacted the hosting copany who say it is just not possible.
This is all new to me, but I find it hard to believe, otherwise, why would I have been supplied .bak files in the first place?
i am trying to restore database.bak in sql server 2005 (i know the database.bak was also generated in sql 2005 server)
i am trying to restore back up database .bak into the new database i just created in sql server 2005i have saved my database .bak into c drive and when i select database .bak "From Device", it doesn't get populated in the list below and i see nothing and it keeps on prompting a message"You must select a restore source"
Here's the screen shot: (i tried restoring database in sql server 2008 and it was sucessful but i am facing this problem in sql server 2005 only)
I have a .bak database file and i want to restore it to a new database so that i can get the data inside the .bak file
I am using SSMS 2008 Express
what i did :
I created a database with the same name as of my .bak file (in my case "RM")
now after creating a new database > righclick on database > tasks > restore
Selected FROM : RM ( empty database that i just created)
Selected TO : RM.bak (my backup file)
when i press "Ok"
i get this error:

View 2 RepliesI'm getting an error in Parallels Plesk for SQL Server database on restore the cause of which is a mystery to me. Here is the support ticket I sent my hosting company:
I'm in the process of restoring my databases and the first one restored just fine. The second one called ***** for *****.com failed with the following error:
Error: dbbackup failed: Unable to restore database 'alienreports' Not valid backup The media family on device C:WINDOWSTEMPlocalhostalienreports*******.bak' is incorrectly formed. SQL Server cannot process this media family. VERIFY DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
This happened both when using the .bak file from my old host and after restoring that file on my local machine using SQL Server Management Studio 2008 just fine before backing it up and getting the same error when trying to upload and restore.
I just switched to a new hosting company and I need to copy the existing database to the new server. I've created a .bak file of the database to restore it on the new server however the interface has facility for restoring database and can not restore remotely through sql server management studio. I could import data from the original database to the new one but that doesn't copy the primary keys? The hosting company said they will restore it for me but they're taking to long and I've got 5 other sites I need to do.

I have an SQL 2008 R2 database on an X86 machine that I have backed up a database from. Now I want to restore it to an SQL 2008 R2 instance on an X64 machine and keep gettting format errors (attributed to restoring a higher version of database to a lower database instance ie 2005 to 2008). On inspecting the databases I find the X86 is version 10 and the X64 is version 9 (which is supposed to be the 2005 database)...are there different versions of the same DB for different software platforms?
